Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The manufacturing lot evaluation confirmed all devices met specifications prior to release.The device was not returned as the device remains implanted therefore no evaluation was completed.At the completion of the clinical assessment, the type ia endoleak event is confirmed.Migration of the suprarenal extension, sac growth of 10mm and rupture were also identified.These events were most likely due to the off-label neck anatomy.The neck was 9mm long (should be greater to or equal to 15mm) and the infarenal neck was 66 degrees (should be equal to or less than 60 degrees).The procedure related harm identified was a prolonged hospitalization.The final patient status was discharged on the eighth post-operative day following an urgent endovascular repair procedure.No additional investigation of this reported event is planned however if additional information pertinent to the incident is obtained, a follow-up report will be submitted.Endologix will continue to monitor this complaint and similar complaints in the event further investigation is needed.Device iteration is afx2.
