    EDWARDS LIFESCIENCES MAINTAINS AN IMPLANT PATIENT REGISTRY. THIS REGISTRY IS A PATIENT TRACKING MECHANISM FOR SERIALIZED EDWARDS IMPLANTABLE DEVICES (BIOPROSTHETIC HEART VALVES AND ANNULOPLASTY RINGS), RATHER THAN A TRUE POST-MARKET SURVEILLANCE REGISTRY. THROUGH THE REGISTRY, EDWARDS IS NOTIFIED WHEN THESE DEVICES ARE IMPLANTED. IN ADDITION, PATIENT AND/OR DEVICE STATUS MAY BE REPORTED TO THE REGISTRY VIA THE IMPLANTATION DATA CARDS. THE INFORMATION IS RECEIVED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES (E.G. SURGEON, HOSPITAL, AND PATIENT FAMILY MEMBERS) AND IS NOT RECEIVED IN THE FORM OF A CONVENTIONAL "CUSTOMER COMPLAINT". THE INFORMATION REPORTED MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED TO THE EDWARDS DEVICE. IN THIS CASE, IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE AORTIC VALVE WAS EXPLANTED AFTER AN IMPLANT DURATION OF APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS AND 9 MONTHS. THE REASON FOR EXPLANT IS UNKNOWN. DESPITE REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO RECEIVE FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THE DEVICE AND EVENT, NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR SAMPLE FOR EVALUATION WAS RECEIVED. THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY ALLEGATIONS OF A MALFUNCTION OR DEFICIENCY RELATED TO THE EXPLANTED VALVE. THE DEVICE WAS REPLACED WITH ANOTHER EDWARDS VALVE. NO OTHER DETAILS PROVIDED.
