Plain-English summary
FLIXENE single-ended slider GDS vascular grafts manufactured by Atrium Medical Corporation are being recalled due to complaints of separation between the Slider GDS Swivel Rod and the Swivel Core, with a notable gap reported between the two components.
Vascular grafts are implantable medical devices used to restore or replace blood vessel function. If the slider rod separates from the swivel core, the graft may not deploy or function as intended, potentially compromising proper device operation.
Approximately 53,308 units have been distributed worldwide, including 11,236 units in the United States and Puerto Rico, and 42,072 units internationally across numerous countries.
