H11.Additional narrative/data: the device was not returned for evaluation, as it remains implanted.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 and investigation that a patient with a 23mm 8300ab intuity valve underwent a valve-in-valve procedure after an implant duration of seven (7) years and 10 months due to unknown reason.The procedure was performed with a 23mm 9750tfx transcatheter 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:.Bioprosthetic tissue valves can deteriorate with time and eventually fail contributing to regurgitation and/or stenosis.Structural valve deterioration (svd) is the most common reason for bioprosthesis explants and encompasses multiple failure modes, including calcification, non-calcific degeneration, dehiscence, cusp thickening or fibrosis, or a combination of these.Such failure modes may occur singularly or concomitantly.Alternatively, nonstructural dysfunction (nsvd) may also play a role in the development of valvular regurgitation and/or stenosis.There is no evidence to suggest a manufacturing defect caused or contributed to the reported event.Based on the information available, a definitive root cause cannot be conclusively determined.Per the instructions for use (ifu), structural valve deterioration (svd) is a known potential risk associated with bioprosthetic heart valves.The device history record (dhr) review was completed and this device passed all manufacturing and sterilization inspections prior to release for distribution.The device history record (dhr) was not reviewed as no information regarding a device failure mode was provided.Therefore, a review of manufacturing and/or device component issues that may have contributed to the reported event is unable to be performed.Edwards will continue to review and monitor all events.Trends are monitored on a monthly basis and if action is required, appropriate investigation will be performed.If new information becomes available, a supplemental report will be submitted.
