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.A clinical assessment of the reported event could not be completed due to a lack of receipt of relevant medical records and/or imaging.Several attempts were made to obtain medical records and images but no response was received.As such, event determination, off label conditions, related patient harms and patient disposition could not be independently assessed.Endologix continues to investigate this event and similar events to ensure the highest quality and patient safety.
