Manufacturer Narrative

Manufacturing review of the aziyo device history record for the reported lot shows that all units were quality released on 11/29/16 having met all internal qc acceptance requirements.All sterilization records, and bioburden testing indicate successful sterilization process, and passing lal and product sterility results allowed the lot to be released having met all criteria for manufacturing release.There were no non-conformances associated with the manufacturing lot.A dhr review of lb937920 was requested and received from the ecm supplier that showed visual non-conformances with the sublots.The sublots were dispositioned according to manufacturing procedure.The ecm supplier results summary states that, "based upon the review results, the non-conformances had no impact on the reported issue".Used and unused product samples were returned for investigation both samples were shown to have some degree of delamination.If the used sample was the sample that the facility was referring to in the event description, the ifu states that the ecm should be soaked in a bowl of sterile saline or other sterile isotonic solution for approximately 1-2 minutes prior to use (use at least 50 ml).It was stated that the ecm was not hydrated in any solution and only the patients' blood was used.This is not appropriate preparation of the ecm according to the ifu.The ifu states that if delamination is observed to not use the ecm device.According to the cormatrix ecm for carotid repair instructions for use (ifu) (20463-062014) that was provided in this lot, it states under indications for use, "the cormatrix ecm for carotid repair is indicated for use as a patch material for vascular reconstruction and repair of the carotid artery, including patch closure following carotid endarterectomy and suture-line buttressing." the repair location was stated generically as "aortic repair".Under the section 'warnings and precautions' it states, "ensure that the device is hydrated prior to suturing.Without proper hydration, the ecm may tear and not retain sutures.Additionally, excessive hydration may result in delamination.If delamination is observed, do not use the cormatrix ecm." under the section labeled suggested instructions for using the cormatrix ecm' is states, "3.Hydrate the cormatrix ecm by placing it in a bowl of sterile saline or other sterile isotonic solution for approximately 1-2 minutes prior to use.Use at least 50 ml of the sterile solution for hydration.It is recommended that the ecm not be excessively handled or manipulated prior to use.5.If required, the cormatrix ecm can be cut to the appropriate size, using aseptic technique in order to adequately cover the tissue deficiency/defect or treatment area.If delamination is observed, do not implant the cormatrix ecm." the exact root cause of the reported delamination cannot be conclusively determined.
