This event is deemed reportable based on the allegations in a lawsuit which, while unsubstantiated, suggest that a reportable event may have occurred during use of atrium medical's mesh product.Plaintiff allegedly experienced ventral hernia, incisional hernia, recurrence, incarceration, component separation, small bowel obstruction, ischemic bowel, inflammation, infection, abscess, purulent drainage, fibrosis, adhesions, unincorporated mesh, hemodynamic instability, hypotension, blood loss and acute kidney injury.Since this is a legal matter, the case has been turned over to legal counsel and further information obtained through investigation or discovery may fall under attorney/client privilege.However, atrium will supplement this report as appropriate if additional information comes to its attention.
