Vascutek Gelsoft Plus and Gelweave vascular grafts recalled for incorrect expiration dates

EXPIRATION DATE ERRORNationwide distributionMedical devices

What this means

Vascutek vascular repair grafts (Gelsoft Plus and Gelweave models) were labeled with expiration dates that are too long. The shelf life was incorrectly calculated from the packaging date instead of the gel treatment date. This means some devices may expire sooner than the label states.

Check your inventory for affected Gelsoft Plus or Gelweave devices (see reference numbers on packaging).
Verify the expiration date matches the gel impregnation date, not the packaging date.
Contact your Vascutek representative or local distributor for guidance on affected stock.
Do not use devices past their actual expiration date.
