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, the intravascular leak into the aneurysm sac from the origin of the sealing ring of the main body, representing a polymer leak and hypotension were confirmed.The procedure related harms identified were transient hypotension due to the polymer leak that was successfully treated per the ifu.The event is most likely device related as identified in field safety notice (fs-0012).The final patient status was reported to be in stable condition.On (b)(6) 2018, endologix issued a field safety notice (fs-0009) regarding the risk of polymer leak events with the ovation ix aortic body stent graft.On (b)(6) 2020, endologix issued a follow-up safety update (fs-0012) reaffirming treatment recommendations for patients who experience a polymer leak during implantation and providing updated information on the current rate of polymer leaks, the rate of clinical harms and root cause.No additional investigation of this reported event is planned however if additional information pertinent to the incident is obtained, a follow-up report will be submitted.Endologix will continue to monitor this complaint and similar complaints in the event further investigation is needed.Corrections: h6: result code: remove code 3233 h6: conclusion code: remove code 11.
