The reported event of a fractured leaflet was confirmed.One leaflet had fractured into three pieces and dislodged from the orifice.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed.The cause of the leaflet fracture remains unknown.However, the damage was consistent with some external force applied to the valve which over stressed the carbon material.
