THE DEVICE WAS MANUFACTURED IN MENTOR¿S MANUFACTURING FACILITY IN LEIDEN, THE NETHERLANDS. ON 22-FEB-2023, THE MENTOR FAILURE ANALYSIS LAB RECEIVED THE DEVICE FOR EVALUATION. MENTOR MEDICAL SYSTEMS B.V, LOCATED IN LEIDEN, THE NETHERLANDS, IS A FOREIGN MANUFACTURER OF MEDICAL DEVICES THAT ARE NOT CLEARED OR APPROVED FOR SALE IN THE US.

HOWEVER, IF MENTOR BECOMES AWARE OF INFORMATION THAT REASONABLY SUGGESTS A DEVICE HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND THAT A SIMILAR DEVICE THAT IS MARKETED IN THE US WOULD BE LIKELY TO CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO A DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY IF THE MALFUNCTION WERE TO RECUR, THEN MENTOR SHOULD REPORT THE DEVICE MALFUNCTION THAT OCCURRED OUTSIDE THE US." SINCE MENTOR MEDICAL SYSTEMS B.V. DO NOT MARKET ANY DEVICES IN THE US, MANUFACTURE & MARKET ALL THEIR DEVICES OUTSIDE THE US, AND HAVE NEVER HELD FDA APPROVAL NOR CLEARANCE FOR ANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS, THEIR DEVICES DO NOT MEET THE CRITERIA FOR MDR REPORTABILITY. PER THE ABOVE STATEMENT, NO MEDWATCH REPORTS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS DEVICE. NO MORE REPORTS WILL BE SUBMITTED FOR THIS EVENT. G1 MANUFACTURER CONTACT PHONE NUMBER: +31 717513644.
