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 iiia endoleak of the left common iliac artery event is confirmed.Clinical investigation identified that due to the off-label use of concomitant (non-endoglogix) products in the bilateral common iliac arteries the event is most likely user related.Procedure related harms for this complaint could not be determined.The final patient status was not reported.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 afx with duraply.
