|
H11: additional manufacturer narrative: the investigation is still in progress; therefore, a conclusion has yet to be established.A supplemental report will be submitted accordingly upon investigation completion.Edwards will continue to review and monitor all reported events.Trends are monitored on a monthly basis and if action is required, appropriate investigation will be performed.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was learned through implant patient registry that a 23mm 2700 aortic valve was explanted after an implant duration of 8 years, 7 months due to unknown reason.The explanted device was replaced with a 27mm 11500a aortic valve.Edwards lifesciences maintains an implant patient registry.This registry is a patient tracking mechanism for serialized edwards implantable devices (bioprosthetic heart valves and annuloplasty rings), rather than a true post-market surveillance registry.Through the registry, edwards is notified when these devices are implanted.In addition, patient and/or device status may be reported to the registry via the implantation data cards.The information is received from various sources (e.G.Surgeon, hospital, and patient family members) and is not received in the form of a conventional "customer complaint".The information reported may or may not be related to the edwards device.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
H11: additional manufacturer narrative: updated: b4, g3, g6, h2, h6 (type of investigation, investigation findings, investigation conclusions) regurgitation identified post-procedurally has many potential root causes, including structural valve deterioration (svd), non-structural valve dysfunction (nsvd), endocarditis and/or thrombosis.Regurgitation occurring post-procedurally is most commonly related to patient and/or procedural factors and is not typically an indication of a device malfunction related to a manufacturing non-conformance.There is no evidence to suggest a manufacturing defect caused or contributed to the reported event.Based on the information available, the most likely root cause is patient factors, including hyperlipidemia (hld) and chronic kidney disease (ckd).The device history record (dhr) review was completed and this device passed all manufacturing and sterilization inspections prior to release for distribution.There were no issues identified that would have impacted this event.H11: corrected data: h6 (component code).
