Updated sections a2, a3a, a4, b4, b5, g3, g6, h2, h6.The manufacturing and material records for the device involved in this event, as they pertain to the reported issue, were retrieved and reviewed by the manufacturer¿s quality engineering.The results confirmed that this prosthesis satisfied all required material, visual, and performance standards at the time of manufacture and release.From the document review performed, no manufacturing deficiencies were noted.Based on the information available, patient was bicuspid and had a heavily calcified annulus.Further calcification was also performed prior to implant of the inspiris valve.As such, despite the limited information available, based on the event description the cause can be reasonably attributed to insufficient decalcification and mis-sizing (use error).
