Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
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.The completion of the clinical assessment determined the stent graft thrombosis is unconfirmed due to a lack of relevant medical imaging and records from the reported event timeframe.This event is most likely user related as the initial procedure is off label due to severe arterial disease with thrombus and complete occlusion from distal aorta to bilateral iliacs.Procedure related harms for this complaint could not be determined.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: device code: remove code 3190 h6: result code: remove code 3221 h6: conclusion code: remove code 11 device iteration is afx2.
