Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
At the completion of the clinical evaluation and based on the information received, there was substantial evidence to support the reported event of a type iiib endoleak of the distal bifurcated device.The device, user, procedure, or anatomy relatedness of this event could not be determined due to a lack of relevant imaging and records.Procedure-related harms for this event could not be determined.The final patient status was reported to be good post successful secondary endovascular procedure (reline) with a non-endologix stent.The clinical assessment also determined that there was evidence to reasonably suggest an endoleak type ii lumbar and a non-endologix left side limb stent occurred that was not included in the event as reported; these events were discovered during a review of the 8-month post ct scan.The manufacturing lot review confirmed all devices met specifications prior to release.Endologix continues to investigate this event and similar events to ensure the highest quality and patient safety.
