Additional Manufacturer Narrative

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.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that the patient anatomy contributed to the reported slda.The reported patient effect of worsening mitral regurgitation (mr) as listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use, is a known possible complication associated with mitraclip procedures.The increased mitral regurgitation (mr) is likely due to the reported slda.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.Exemption number e2019001-permits numbering sequence to begin with 10000, to avoid duplication of report numbers due to process transition.There may be gaps in numbering for reports submitted during the transition period.
