Plain-English summary

Endologix, Inc. is recalling Ovation iX Abdominal Stent Graft Systems (REF: TV-AB2080-I, TV-AB2080-J, TV-AB2380-I, TV-AB2380-J, TV-AB2680-I, TV-AB2680-J, TV-AB2980-I, TV-AB2980-J, TV-AB3480-I, TV-AB3480-J). The recall involves 9,156 units that have not yet been implanted. The products were distributed nationwide in the United States and in numerous countries worldwide, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom.

The recall is due to a material weakness adjacent to the polymer fill channel that may become compromised during pressurization with liquid polymer.
