    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    TAPER UNK. (B)(4). THE REPORTER OF THE COMPLAINT WAS ASKED TO RETURN THE PRODUCT FOR ANALYSIS AS WELL AS INDICATE THE PRODUCT SERIAL NUMBER, DATE OF EVENT, IMPLANT DATE AND EXPLANT DATE. MULTIPLE REQUESTS FOR FURTHER INFO HAVE BEEN MADE. ALLERGAN HAS RECEIVED NO RESPONSE FROM THE AUTHORS. VISUAL EXAMINATION MAY DETERMINE THE CONNECTOR TYPE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REPORT. ALLERGAN HAS NOT RECEIVED THE PRODUCT AT THIS TIME. THEREFORE, NO ANALYSIS OR TESTING HAS BEEN DONE. DISPLACEMENT IS A SURGICAL/PHYSIOLOGICAL COMPLICATION AND ANALYSIS OF THE DEVICE GENERALLY DOES NOT ASSIST ALLERGAN IN DETERMINING A PROBABLE CAUSE FOR THIS EVENT. DEVICE LABELING ADDRESSES THE REPORTED EVENT OF DISPLACEMENT AS FOLLOWS: WARNING: "FAILURE TO SECURE THE BAND PROPERLY MAY RESULT IN IT SUBSEQUENT DISPLACEMENT AND NECESSITATE RE-OPERATION." CAUTION: CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO PLACE THE ACCESS PORT IN A STABLE POSITION AWAY FROM AREAS THAT MAY BE AFFECTED BY SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT LOSS, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, OR SUBSEQUENT SURGERY. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN THE INABILITY TO PERFORM PERCUTANEOUS BAND ADJUSTMENTS."
