Method: the graft was not returned for evaluation.Therefore, a re-review was performed of the manufacturing records, sterilization run reports, environmental monitoring results, quality control/assurance reviews and release, and the complaints database for related complaints associated with the lot.Results: there was one deviation noted for lot nz-210-01.02.12 related to instrumentation during receipt of bovine tissue.After investigation it was determined there was no risk associated to tissue and the tissue was approved for further processing.The graft underwent a validated sterilization methodology; tutoplast which includes terminal sterilization by gamma irradiation after packaging.Environmental data and records generated during and around the time of processing for this lot were acceptable.To date rti has distributed 61 xenografts from this lot without related complaints for the lot.Conclusion: given the facts that: the device was not returned for evaluation; records review demonstrated no deviations that had a negative impact during manufacturing of graft id (b)(6); 3) the graft met specification requirements and release criteria at the time of distribution; and 4) no related complaints were noted associated with the distributed graft from this lot, it is unlikely that this event is related to the xenograft.
