The site suspected sensor inaccuracy.The patient underwent an unscheduled recalibration, and a right heart catheterization (rhc) was performed to confirm the accuracy of the pressure sensor against a reference pressure.The sensor was found to be outside the range of accuracy; therefore, a recalibration adjustment was required.

The following sections were updated/added: b4, b5, d4, g3, g6, h2, h3, h4, h6 and h11.H3: the sensor was not returned for evaluation as it remains implanted.The device history record (dhr) for the sensor lot was reviewed, and it was confirmed that all manufacturing operations and inspections were performed, all acceptance criteria were met, and no relevant nonconformances were associated with the sensor lot at the time of manufacture.On (b)(6) 2025 (999 days from implant), the patient underwent a scheduled 3-year right heart catheterization (rhc) recalibration.The offset determined during the recalibration fell outside the fluid-filled reference measurement error range, thereby confirming that the sensor was providing inaccurate measurements.As a result, the reported event was confirmed.Following recalibration, the mpap trend has remained stable and consistent.While the exact cause of the reported event cannot be conclusively determined, the measurement stability afterwards indicates that the sensor's inaccurate measurement was finite and has been effectively corrected through recalibration.The product's instructions for use were reviewed and warns the user that, "to ensure accuracy, the sensor must be calibrated approximately every three years using a right heart catheterization procedure." based on the information provided, no further corrective or preventative actions are required at this time.
