It also can be used as a buttress for over sewing suture lines. ## Device Story PFA Vascular Patch is a cross-linked bovine peritoneal/fascia tissue device; used in peripheral arteries following endarterectomy, as tissue pledget for arterial surgery, or as buttress for over-sewing suture lines. Device is provided sterile in glutaraldehyde solution within a polymeric vial; intended for single use only. Surgeon operates device during peripheral vascular procedures. Clinical benefit derived from providing structural support and reinforcement to vascular tissue during reconstruction. Device performance validated through mechanical strength testing and canine implantation studies demonstrating vessel patency, lack of stenosis, and absence of aneurysm or adverse inflammatory reaction. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing included mechanical strength parameters: failure tension, stiffness, relax slope, suture pull-out strength, extensibility, fatigue tension, and creep. In vivo animal study conducted in canines comparing PFA patch to a commercially available arterial patch. Results showed all vessels patent, no stenosis, no aneurysm formation, and no difference in inflammatory reaction between groups. No neointimal hyperplasia or scarring observed in PFA group. ## Technological Characteristics Cross-linked bovine peritoneal/fascia tissue. Packaged in glutaraldehyde solution. Available in sizes 0.8x3.0 cm, 1.0x8.0 cm, and 2.0x9.0 cm. Sterile, single-use. Mechanical properties include failure tension, stiffness, and suture pull-out strength. ## Regulatory Identification An intracardiac patch or pledget made of polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, or polytetrafluoroethylene is a fabric device placed in the heart that is used to repair septal defects, for patch grafting, to repair tissue, and to buttress sutures. ## Predicate Devices - Vascu-Guard Peripheral Vascular Patch ([K942010](/device/K942010.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

President & CEO | #### Intended Use The PFA patch is designed for use in peripheral arteries as a patch following arterial endarterectomy and as a tissue pledget for arterial surgery. It also can be used as a buttress for over sewing suture lines. #### Predicate Devices Vascu-Guard Peripheral Vascular Patch K942010 from Bio-Vascular, Inc. #### Device Description The PFA Vascular Patch is a cross-linked piece of bovine peritoneal / fascia tissue and is available in the following sizes: 0.8 cm x 3.0 cm 1.0 cm x 8.0 cm 2.0 cm x 9.0 cm The device is packaged in an industry standard polymeric vial with a threaded cap sealed by a plastic shrink wrap. The tissue is packaged with a solution of glutaraldehyde. The sealed container is placed in a shelf {1}------------------------------------------------ carton with the Instructions for Use. The shelf carton contains a freeze warning indicator. The product is provided sterile and is intended for single use only. It is not intended to be resterilized or reused. ### Materials All materials used in the manufacture of the PFA Vascular Patch are suitable for this use and have been used in numerous previously cleared products. ### Testing Product testing was conducted to evaluate conformance to product specification. Testing included mechanical strength testing for the following parameters: failure tension, stiffness, relax slope, suture pull out strength, extensibility, fatigue tension, and creep tests. In vivo animal testing comparing the bovine PFA patch to a commercially available arterial patch was conducted. PFA patches and control patches were implanted in canines. All vessels examined were patent with no evidence of stenosis. There was no evidence of aneurysm formation in any vessel and no difference between groups in inflammatory reaction. There was no neointimal hyperplasia or scarring in animals that received the PFA. ## Summary of Substantial Equivalence The PFA Vascular Patch is equivalent to the predicate products. The indications for use, basic overall function, methods of manufacturing, and materials used are substantially equivalent. {2}------------------------------------------------ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service Image /page/2/Picture/2 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
