Manufacturing review: a manufacturing review was not performed as the lot number was not provided. Visual inspection: the sample was not returned; therefore, visual inspection could not be performed. Functional/performance evaluation: the sample was not returned; therefore, functional/performance evaluation could not be performed. Medical records review: medical records were not provided; therefore, a review could not be performed. Image/photo review: images/photos were not provided; therefore, a review could not be performed. Conclusion: the device was not returned. Images and medical records were not provided. The investigation was inconclusive for the alleged graft tears. The definitive root cause could not be determined based upon available information. It was unknown whether patient and/or procedural issues contributed to the event. Further investigation is being conducted to investigate the bead tear issue in eptfe vascular graft products. Labeling review: the current ifu (instructions for use) states: warnings: do not remove the external spiral support (beading) from any centerflex? Graft or endflex? Graft. Attempts to remove the beading may damage the graft wall. If damage occurs, discard the graft precautions: when removing the external spiral support (beading) of impra flex? Grafts, the beading must be removed slowly and at a 90? Angle to the graft. Rapid unwinding and/or removal at less than a 90? Angle may result in graft damage. Do not use surgical blades or sharp, pointed instruments to remove the beading as this may damage the graft wall. If damage occurs, that segment of the graft should not be used. The information provided by bard represents all of the known information at this time. Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bard.
