    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    H6 - ADVERSE EVENT PROBLEM: HEALTH EFFECT - CLINICAL CODE: REMOVED CODE 1762 CARDIAC ARREST. AN EVENT OF COMPLETE HEART BLOCK WAS REPORTED. A RETURNED DEVICE ASSESSMENT COULD NOT BE PERFORMED AS THE DEVICE REMAINS IMPLANTED AND 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 DEFINED MANUFACTURING SPECIFICATIONS. BASED ON THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION, THE CAUSE OF THE REPORTED COMPLETE HEART BLOCK COULD NOT BE CONCLUSIVELY DETERMINED. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT PATIENT CONDITIONS (PRE-EXISTING LEFT BUNDLE BRANCH BLOCK (LBBB) AND ATRIAL FIBRILLATION) AND/OR PROCEDURAL CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTED TO THE EVENT; HOWEVER, THIS CANNOT BE CONFIRMED. THE REPORTED HOSPITALIZATION, UNEXPECTED MEDICAL INTERVENTION, AND SURGICAL INTERVENTION WERE DUE TO CASE-SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES AS A TEMPORARY PACEMAKER WAS PLACED TO ADDRESS THE HEART BLOCK, THE PATIENT WAS HOSPITALIZED TO MONITOR THEIR RHYTHM, AND A PERMANENT PACEMAKER WAS IMPLANTED ONE-DAY POST-PROCEDURE. THERE IS NO INDICATION OF A PRODUCT QUALITY ISSUE WITH REGARDS TO MANUFACTURE, DESIGN, OR LABELING.
