No conclusion can be made.Based on the information provided we are unable to determine to what extent, if any, the xenmatrix graft may have caused or contributed to the patient's reported staph infection.As reported approximately six years post implant the patient was diagnosed with a staph (b)(6) infection, which can typically be acquired during hospital stays / visits.Additionally, medical implants are not frequently the cause of these types of recurrent infections but rather a vantage point that the bacteria use.Infection is listed in the adverse reaction section of the instructions-for-use as a possible complication.Should additional information be obtained, a supplemental emdr will be submitted.Not returned.
