Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
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.The device was not returned for evaluation.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.It should be noted that the reported patient effects of angina and thrombosis are listed in the xience sierra, everolimus eluting coronary stent system instructions for use as known patient effects of coronary stenting procedures.A conclusive cause for the reported patient effect(s), and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined; however, the reported treatment appears to be related to the operational context of the procedure.Based on the information reviewed, there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling of the device.
