Intended Use
The IMPRA High Porosity Graft in Straight and IMPRA Flex configurations is indicated for use as a vascular prosthesis for bypass or reconstruction of arterial blood vessels. IMPRA Flex configurations have an external spiral bead support on the graft and can be used where resistance to compression or kinking is desired.
Device Story
IMPRA High Porosity Graft is an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) vascular prosthesis. Available in straight and 'IMPRA Flex' configurations; the latter includes an external spiral bead support to provide resistance to compression and kinking. Used by surgeons for bypass or reconstruction of arterial blood vessels. Device functions as a permanent implant to restore or redirect blood flow. Benefits include structural support for arterial repair and mechanical stability in peripheral applications.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing performed per ANSI/AAMI VP20-1994 and 1993 FDA Draft Guidance for Vascular Graft Prostheses. Results confirmed the device is suitable for intended use and performs equivalently to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Material: expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). Construction: high porosity. Configurations: straight and flex (with external spiral bead support). Standards: ANSI/AAMI VP20-1994. Sterilization: not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for bypass or reconstruction of peripheral arterial blood vessels in patients requiring vascular prosthesis.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A vascular graft prosthesis is an implanted device intended to repair, replace, or bypass sections of native or artificial vessels, excluding coronary or cerebral vasculature, and to provide vascular access. It is commonly constructed of materials such as polyethylene terephthalate and polytetrafluoroethylene, and it may be coated with a biological coating, such as albumin or collagen, or a synthetic coating, such as silicone. The graft structure itself is not made of materials of animal origin, including human umbilical cords.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Guidance Document for Vascular Prostheses 510(k) Submissions.”

#### C. Predicate Device Name
Trade Name(s):
IMPRA ePTFE Vascular Graft Atrium Hybrid PTFE Vascular Graft
#### D. Device Description
The IMPRA High Porosity Graft is an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) vascular graft with a high porosity construction.
#### E. Intended Use
The IMPRA High Porosity Graft in Straight and IMPRA Flex configurations is indicated for use as a vascular prosthesis for bypass or reconstruction of arterial blood vessels. IMPRA Flex configurations have an external spiral bead support on the graft and can be used where resistance to compression or kinking is desired.
#### F. Technological Characteristics Summary
The IMPRA High Porosity Graft is an IMPRA ePTFE Vascular Graft with a high porosity construction.
#### G. Performance Data
Device testing was performed on the IMPRA High Porosity Graft and compared to the results of testing performed on the IMPRA ePTFE Vascular Graft. The testing was conducted using methods recommended in ANSI/AAMI VP20-1994: Cardiovascular Implants - Vascular Prostheses and the 1993 FDA Draft Guidance. Guidance for the Preparation of Research and Marketing Applications for Vascular Graft Prostheses. The results of all testing indicated that the IMPRA High Porosity Graft is suitable for use as vascular prostheses for bypass or reconstruction of arterial blood vessels and the anticipated conditions of use imposed on the device. The results demonstrated that the IMPRA High Porosity Graft has been adequately designed to perform in a manner substantially equivalent to that of the predicate devices.
IMPRA High Porosity Grafts are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed IMPRA ePTFE Vascular Graft and the Atrium Hybrid PTFE Vascular Graft.
