Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Additional information h10, h3 and h6 ; the reported event of the leaflets fractured and dislodged during rotation was confirmed.One leaflet had dislodged and fractured into multiple pieces, part of which was not returned.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed.There was no evidence of material defect in the carbon coating that may have caused or contributed to the fractured leaflet.The cause of the reported event could not be conclusively determined, however it is consistent with damage caused by some external force applied to the leaflet and orifice, which overstressed the carbon material.
