In h11 of the initial mdr, under device evaluation, the last sentence requires correction.In a review of this mdr on 08 jan 2021, it was discovered that this sentence stated the use of the device was unapproved, which is not correct; the elca device is approved for use in the coronary arteries.This sentence is now corrected to state: the use of the elca device in this event to treat underexpanded stents was not listed on the label.This supplemental mdr is being submitted to capture this correction.
