Event or Problem Description
|
|
The manufacturer was informed of an intra-operative explant of a perceval plus size xl that occurred on (b)(6) 2025.Reportedly, a ct scan was initially used to assess the anatomy and guide valve sizing, which was followed by tactile sizing.Based on these evaluations, an xl perceval plus valve was selected to be implanted.However, after closure of the aortotomy and under transesophageal echocardiography (tee), a significant central leak was observed.As a result, the perceval plus valve was explanted, and a sutured inspiris valve size 25 was implanted in the patient.No further information is available at this time.

The manufacturing and material records for the device involved in this event, as they pertain to the reported issue, were retrieved and reviewed by the manufacturer¿s quality engineering.The results confirmed that this prosthesis satisfied all required material, visual, and performance standards at the time of manufacture and release.Steady flow test review was also performed.Pictures demonstrate the acceptable opened and closed leaflet performance of the perceval pvf-xl sn# (b)(6).No anomalies are observed during the open/close cycle.The valve therefore meets the acceptance criteria of the steady flow test inspection defined in dedicated procedure at the time of release.Manufacturer is pending receipt of the device to perform further investigation on the device.A follow up report will be provided upon receipt of the device and/or any further information.This report is regarding the same event which has been reported to fda under report id: (b)(4).

Updated sections: b4, d9, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6, h11.The device was returned to manufacturer for investigation.After decontamination, the valve was visually inspected without highlighting elements of non-conformity according to the specifications.The height of each leaflet was verified by means of the specific tool resulting in conformity.A dimensional analysis was performed confirming the correct dimensions of the returned device.A hydrodynamic testing was conducted on the returned pvf-xl to verify its functionality.The effective orifice area (eoa) at 70 bpm, 5.0 l/min of cardiac output and mean back pressure of 100 mmhg was 4.01 cm2, which is above the iso 5840 minimum requirement 1.70 cm2.For a cardiac output of 5.0 l/min and mean aortic pressure of about 100 mmhg, the regurgitant fraction was 5.9 %, which is below the requirement of iso 5840 (rf% < 15%) for a prosthesis of equivalent size.Regarding the total and full coaptation of the leaflets, no anomalies were observed during the open/close cycle both in normotensive conditions and in hypotensive conditions.This is further confirmed from the comparison with the images of the test carried out before the release of the product (steady flow test), which show no evidence of anomalous behavior, while a substantial correspondence can be observed in the morphology of the opening / closing leaflets.Based on the performed analysis, the reported event cannot be explained by any factor intrinsic in the involved device because no coaptation anomalies were observed during the functional test under hydrodynamic testing conditions as per iso 5840:2021.In summary, the visual inspection performed on the returned prosthesis confirmed the absence of pre-existing defects.The pvf-xl (sn (b)(6)) meets the en iso 5840:2021 minimum requirements.No regurgitation and/or anomalies were observed at the hydrodynamic testing during the open/close cycle both in normotensive and hypotensive pressure conditions.Based on the analysis conducted, it can therefore be concluded that the reported event cannot be attributed to any intrinsic factor related to the device itself, as no anomalies were observed during the investigation.Furthermore, no deficits were noted during the manufacturing documents review including the steady flow test review.In case new information will be received in the future which will allow the identification of the most likely root cause, the manufacturer will revisit the case and submit a follow report as applicable.
