    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, THREE PATIENTS HAVE RECENTLY PRESENTED WITH STERILE ABSCESS FROM THE ANASTOMOSES WHERE BIOGLUE WAS APPLIED. THE BIOGLUE (LOT NUMBERS NOT SPECIFIED) WAS USED IN THESE CASES DURING (B)(6) 2011. THE CASES INCLUDED TWO AORTIC ROOT REPLACEMENTS AND ONE CANNULATION SITE. THE PATIENTS RANGED IN AGE (B)(6). IN TWO OF THE CASES THE ONLY OTHER PRODUCT USED WAS FELT ON THE ANASTOMOSIS. ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS WERE UTILIZED IN THE THIRD CASE. AS SUCH, AN INVESTIGATION WAS PERFORMED. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO OBTAIN FURTHER INFORMATION FROM THE SURGEON. ADDITIONALLY, INFORMATION WAS REQUESTED FROM THE SURGICAL FACILITY. HOWEVER, NO FURTHER DETAILS WERE PROVIDED. THEREFORE, A MANUFACTURING REVIEW WAS PERFORMED ON ALL LOTS OF BIOGLUE SENT TO THE HOSPITAL SIX MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT. THIS REVIEW CONFIRMED THAT ALL RECORDS WERE CONTROLLED, AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW, AND MET ALL PHYSICAL, FUNCTION, MICROBIAL, AND CHEMICAL SPECIFICATIONS PER THE DEVICE MASTER RECORDS. WITH THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION, NO CONCLUSIONS CAN BE MADE. SHOULD ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BECOME AVAILABLE AT A LATER DATE THE COMPLAINT WILL BE REOPENED AND THE INFORMATION WILL BE EVALUATED.
