This is an addendum to the initial emdr.Additional information was provided by the reporting facility via medwatch report.The facility reports this to be a potential product problem.As the manufacturer we have performed a review of the manufacturing records that included review of sterility records for the lot in question.No manufacturing issues associated to the reported event were found in the reviewed lot.Dhr review showed component acceptability and traceability were confirmed through incoming inspection records for traceable components used.All process steps were completed per manufacturing procedures and inspection procedures.Product passed all required inspections at both end product and subassembly levels.To date this is the only reported complaint for this production lot of (b)(4) units released for distribution in february, 2017.Infection is a known inherent risk of surgery.The warning section of the instructions-for-use states, "this device is not indicated for the treatment of infection.If an infection develops, treat the infection aggressively." at this time, a definitive conclusion cannot be made as to the degree to which the xenmatrix ab graft may have contributed to the infection experienced post implant.Should additional information be obtained, a supplemental emdr will be submitted.
