Model Number	6900PTFX
Medical Device Problem Code	Calcified (1077)
Health Effect - Clinical Code	Swelling/ Edema (4577)
Date of Event	08/11/2025
Type of Reportable Event	Serious Injury
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H11: additional manufacturer narrative: the subject device is not available for evaluation, as it remains implanted in the patient.The investigation is still in progress; therefore, a conclusion has yet to be established.A supplemental report will be submitted accordingly upon investigation completion.
Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a 31mm 6900ptfx mitral valve implanted in the tricuspid position was disabled via valve in valve procedure after an implant duration of 7 years, 3 months due to calcification with stenosis.The patient presented with lower extremity swelling.Ttvr was completed with a 29mm 9755rsl transcatheter valve and patient was stable at the end of the procedure.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H11: additional manufacturer narrative: updated sections: b4, g3, g6, h2, h6 (type of investigation, investigation findings, and investigation conclusions).A device history record (dhr) review is not required because there is no allegation of a malfunction which could be related to a manufacturing non-conformance and/or one was not suspected or confirmed through investigation; no labeling non-conformance/deficiency; no device-related infection; and no evidence of a product failure with regard to design, reliability, or use error (b)(4).Engineering evaluation summary: based on the information available, the device was intentionally used outside the way it was designed and intended.The performance, safety, efficacy, longevity, and durability of rings and bioprosthetic valves have not been determined when the product is used outside the scope of its intended use and/or its studied population.Per (b)(4), svd is a logical and expected consequence of the chemical, mechanical, and immunological processes associated with bhv implantation.The common endpoint of all these factors is calcification and degradation.Svd is an acquired condition, intrinsic to bioprosthetic valves, characterized by deterioration of the leaflets or supporting structures, leading to thickening, calcification, tearing, or disruption of the prosthetic valve materials.These changes result in valvular dysfunction manifesting as stenosis and/or regurgitation with a consequent drop in hemodynamic efficacy of the valve.Despite the advancements in the heart valve industry, svd commonly begins 7- 8 years after implantation, with a considerably increased rate in patients with pertinent comorbidities and/or an implant duration of greater than 10 years.Prior investigations and extensive literature review have shown that svd is predominantly related to patient factors and implant duration rather than to manufacturing issues.Events related to device design, manufacturing, or use error tend to manifest at an earlier implant duration.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 an implant duration of 7 or more years, implant position, and congenital heart disease.
