Other: infection.Manufacturing assessment review: grafton orthoblend test reports were reviewed (base sterility, final product sterility, endotoxin, moisture analysis, glycerol content, calcium assay, environmental monitoring).All tests passed.Donor file & donor eligibility records: donor eligibility documents were reviewed and no non-conformance was found.No reports of adverse reactions involving any other orga ns/tissues recovered from this donor.Recovery of the donor tissue was performed using a method appropriate to controlling contamination.(b)(6) reviews based on donor charts: in their opinion, the graft was not the source of the patient¿s infection.They agree with the update received from the surgeon that poor oral hygiene of the mouth by the patient was the cause of the patient¿s infection.Neither the device nor films of applicable imaging studies were returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.Therefore, we are unable to determine the definitive cause of the reported event.Although it is unknown if the device contributed to the reported event, we are filing this mdr for notification purposes.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
