Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was learned through implant patient registry that a patient with a 23mm 3300tfx aortic valve was explanted after an implant duration of 6 years, 10 months due to unknown reasons.The explanted valve was replaced with a 23mm 11500a 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.

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.The device history record (dhr) was not reviewed as the reported event does not allege a malfunction that could be related to an edwards manufacturing deficiency and/or one was not confirmed through investigation.
