(b)(4).During processing of this complaint, attempts were made to obtain complete event, patient and device information.The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.All available information was investigated and a definitive cause for the single leaflet device attachment (slda) in this incident could not be determined.The increased mitral regurgitation (mr) is likely due to the reported slda.The reported patient effects of worsening mr and worsening heart failure are listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use (ifu) as known possible complications associated with mitraclip procedures.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
