Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Product analysis: upon receipt at medtronic¿s quality laboratory, visual evaluation showed damage on the sewing cloth adjacent to the trigonal marker, likely resulting from suture placement through the eyelet.From the inflow, the sewing cloth and green suture was frayed.Radiography showed no evidence of distortion or fractures in the ring.Conclusion: surgeons often attempt to repair valves in lieu of replacing them in an effort to preserve the native mitral anatomy.There are times when valve repair is attempted using a repair device and subsequent post-repair evaluation demonstrates an inadequate result.This is potentially due to, but not limited to, sub-optimal anatomy, surgical technique or inappropriate sizing, and not a malfunction of the device.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
