Root cause is inconclusive; no conclusion can be made as to the extent to which the implant may have caused or contributed to the patient's postoperative course.This emdr represents the bard/davol ventrio st (device #2).An additional supplemental emdr was submitted to represent the bard/davol ventralex st (device #1).Note, the manufacturing date (15-jan-2016) is considered to be a best estimate.Note: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.
