Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturing review: the device history records have been reviewed and this lot met all release criteria.There was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.Investigation summary: the device was returned for evaluation.The beading was found to be removed from a large portion of the returned graft.In the area in which the beading was removed the graft was spirally torn.Therefore, the investigation can be confirmed for the alleged torn material.The definitive root cause could not be determined based upon available information.It is unknown whether patient and/or procedural issues contributed to the event.Labeling review: the current instructions for use (ifu) states: precautions: when removing the external spiral support (beading) of the graft, the beading must be removed slowly and at a 90° angle to the graft.Rapid unwinding and /or removal at less than a 90° angle may result in graft damage.Do not use surgical blades or sharp, pointed instruments to remove the beading as this may damage the graft wall.If damage occurs, that segment of the graft should not be used.
