Additional Manufacturer Narrative
An event of difficulty rotating the valve and incomplete leaflet cooptation was reported.The valve was sent for functional testing at the engineering test lab.During this test, which ensures proper leaflet coaptation and hemodynamic performance, the valve was placed in a pulse duplicator filled with saline.The conditions included a beat rate of 70 ± 1 bpm, a flow rate of 5.0 ± 0.2 lpm, and a mean aortic pressure of 100 +10/-0 mmhg.Under these conditions, the leaflets appeared to coapt such that the effective orifice area value was 2.27 and the regurgitant fraction value was 8.9%.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed, including functional testing to ensure proper leaflet coaptation and hemodynamic performance, and the product met all specifications.The cause of reported event could not be determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to labeling design or manufacturing of the device.
