At the completion of the clinical evaluation and based on the information received, there was substantial evidence to support the reported event of type iiia endoleak of the aortic components.The event is most likely user-related due to the following factors: non-concomitant use of a non-endologix proximal cuff with an afx device, and the proximal aortic angle measuring 61 degrees (ifu requires less than or equal to 60).Procedure-related harms for this event could not be determined, and the final patient status was not reported.The manufacturing lot review confirmed all devices met specifications prior to release.These types of events will be monitored and trended as part of the quality system.Correction: g1-2 contact office, g4, h6; h6 result code ¿ remove 3233 conclusion code ¿ remove 11 and 22.
