How is the Perma-Pass Vascular Graft regulated in the U.S., and what does that mean for clinicians?
The Perma-Pass Vascular Graft is regulated under the FDA’s 510(k) clearance process (K984182) and classified as a Class II medical device under product code DSY. This means it has undergone review by the FDA’s Cardiovascular (CV) Advisory Committee and was determined to be substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device, ensuring it meets established safety and performance standards for vascular grafts.
How should the Perma-Pass Vascular Graft be stored, and what does the sterile packaging imply for surgical preparation?
The Perma-Pass Vascular Graft is supplied sterile, meaning it is pre-sterilized and packaged to maintain sterility until use. Clinicians should follow standard sterile field protocols when handling the graft, ensuring it remains uncontaminated until implantation. The single-use nature also implies that opened or exposed grafts should not be reused.
