Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information received indicates that this event should not have been reportable.An event of leaflet fracture during procedure was reported.The investigation found that both leaflets were dislodged and were not returned.The valve rotated freely.The recessed pivot areas, and pivot guard did not contain any visible evidence of surface damage or anomalies.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed, and the product met all specifications.While the root cause of the leaflet dislodgement could not be conclusively determined, there was no evidence of material defect in the carbon coating that may have caused or contributed to the fractured leaflet.The damage may have been caused by some external force applied to the valve which overstressed the carbon material.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to labeling design or manufacturing of the device.
