Qa investigation into lot sp100528 resulted in no remarkable findings including (b)(4) devices distributed with no other complaints and no related processing deviations or nonconformances revealed.Lot sp100528 was processed aseptically, terminally sterilized and met all qc release criteria.Device evaluation: acellular collagen graft layers are seen microscopically, consistent with unincorporated collagenous tissue.Many of the cut sections are flanked on one surface by dense eosinophilic fibrotic capsule, separated from the graft collagen by linear infiltrate of lymphocytes with rare polymorphonuclear leukocytes.The appearance suggests some low-grade host reactivity to the graft.Special stains for trichrome (connective tissue) are densely positive, consistent with collagen and not muscular tissue.Fungal (gridley) and bacterial (b&b) stains are negative for organisms.Elastin stain (vvg) shows minimal elastin fibers, consistent with unincorporated porcine collagen.
