Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
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, due to the lack of relevant medical imaging or records, clinical was unable to find substantial evidence to support the following reported event of stent movement and type 1a endoleak.The most likely cause of the persistent proximal loss of seal was the off-label neck anatomy.Reportedly, the patient will be on surveillance.To date there has been no reports of further negative patient sequalae.Endologix continues to investigate this event and similar events to ensure the highest quality and patient safety.
