Event Description

This event is deemed reportable based on the allegations in a lawsuit which, while unsubstantiated, suggest that a reportable event may have occurred during use of atrium medical's mesh product.Allegedly, plaintiff was implanted with c-qur v-patch mesh.Plaintiff allegedly experienced pain, inflammation, failure of incorporation, scarification, and subsequent surgery to repair recurrent hernia and to remove the mesh device.Since this is a legal matter, the case has been turned over to legal counsel and further information obtained through investigation or discovery may fall under the attorney/client and/or work product privilege.However, atrium will supplement this report as appropriate if additional information comes to its attention.
