Atrium Medical Recalls Advanta VXT Grafts Due to Label Adhesion Issue
Atrium Medical Corporation is recalling Advanta VXT Grafts because the inner tray label may adhere to the outer tray, making it difficult to remove the tray onto the sterile field.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the issue is a packaging/labeling defect that creates a procedural difficulty rather than a direct risk of serious injury or death.
