Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record revealed no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history did not indicate a lot-specific quality issue.Based on available information, the cause of the reported positioning failure (leaflet grasping) could not be determined.The cause of the reported tissue injury appears to be a cascading effect of the grasping attempts.The cause of the reported death could not be determined.The reported patient effect of tissue injury and death are known possible complication associated with mitraclip procedures.The reported hospitalization and unexpected medical intervention were results of case-specific circumstances.There is no indication of a product issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.Code 1157 was removed and 1158 was added.
