Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The likely cause of the labeling issue could not be determined due to the lack of relevant imaging (ct scans or marker catheter angiography).Intravascular length measurements without the aid of a marker catheter can be inaccurate, not taking into account angulation of a three dimensional object visualized in two-dimensions.Based on the available information clinical was unable to determine the presence of procedure-related, anatomy-related and/or user-related issues.Additionally clinical was not able to determine off label or cautionary product use conditions.Devices remain implanted in the patient and were not returned for further investigation.The review of the manufacturing lot confirmed all devices met specifications prior to release.No additional investigations of this reported complaint are planned, endologix will continue to monitor this complaint and similar complaints in the event further investigation is needed.
