Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was returned for investigation.Measurements were taken of the fenestrations in order to compare with the fenestration layout used during manufacturing, as well as the charts approved by the physician.Based on these measurements, it can be concluded that the graft was manufactured according to the fenestration layout used during manufacturing, as well as the charts approved by the physician.Work order ac1044611 was reviewed and appears complete and correct.Upon reviewing the photos taken of the complaint device during manufacture it appears that the device was manufactured as per the 'charts approved' form signed by the physician.The device ifu states: "each patient must be evaluated on an individual basis to determine the specific location of the graft fenestrations (refer to planning and sizing sheet), with careful consideration also given to both the potential benefits and specific risks associated with the procedure." "the proximal body graft may contain up to three precisely located holes (fenestration(s)), and cut-outs from the proximal margin (scallop(s)) of the graft material.The fenestration and/or scallop locations are individualized to the patient anatomy based on measurements from high resolution pre-operative ct imaging.Refer to the planning and sizing sheet for information regarding how these locations are determined." "verify from pre-implant planning (refer to planning and sizing sheet) that the correct device has been selected." from the sizing sheet it can be seen that the two small fen's had opposite clock positions vs.Distance from proximal edge when compared to the charts approved/fen layout.This indicates that there may have been a mix up during the planning stage of this device.
