The reported event of a "broken" leaflet could not be confirmed.The results of the investigation are inconclusive since the device was not returned for analysis.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed and the product met all specifications.Based on the information received, the cause of the reported incident could not be conclusively determined.Please note, per the instructions for use artmt100122073 ver.A, "proper valve size selection is crucial.Do not oversize the valve.If the native annulus measurement falls between two sjm¿ masters series mechanical heart valve sizes, use the smaller size sjm¿ masters series mechanical heart valve." "to minimize direct handling of the valve during implantation, do not remove the holder/rotator until the valve has been seated in the annulus.".
