The manufacturing lot evaluation confirmed all devices met specifications prior to release.The device was not returned as the device remains implanted therefore no evaluation was completed.At the completion of the clinical assessment, clinical was able to find substantial evidence to support the following reported event of cuff in-folding (buckling) and occlusion with the infra-renal cuff.Device, user, procedure or anatomy relatedness of this complaint could not be determined based on the information shared with endologix to review.Procedure related harms for this complaint could not be determined based on the information shared with endologix to review.Off label use due to a non- endologix stent (gore stent graft) used at time of implant.Endologix continues to investigate this event and similar events to ensure the highest quality and patient safety.
