This mdr is being submitted due to the reported hematoma that occurred during the initial placement of the acell device.During the surgery micromatrix was focused mainly on the exposed areas: bone, tendon and undermined areas; versajet was also used on the wound.The patient has an external fixture device on his leg and ongoing wound vac therapy.Acell has conducted testing on the clotting capabilities of acell materials, including micromatrix in both in vitro and in vivo models.In both models, the use of micromatrix shortened clotting times compared to the controls, indicating a hemostatic effect.A review of the manufacturing records for this lot identified no deviations in the production process that fall outside of specification.
