    THE RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION ARE INCONCLUSIVE SINCE THE DEVICE WAS NOT RETURNED FOR ANALYSIS. IN ADDITION, NO LOG FILES WERE RECEIVED. THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD WAS NOT REVIEWED AS THE BATCH NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE. BASED ON THE INFORMATION RECEIVED, THE CAUSE OF THE REPORTED CARDIAC TAMPONADE AND PATIENT DEATH MAY HAVE BEEN PROCEDURE RELATED. PER THE IFU, CARDIAC PERFORATION IS A KNOWN RISK DURING THE USE OF THIS DEVICE.
