FDA recall, , Moderate risk

Artivion CryoPatch SynerGraft Pulmonary Human Cardiac Patch

The patch was implanted, and due to limitations of long-term in vivo data, the possibility of premature graft dysfunction cannot be excluded.

What happened

Artivion, Inc, of Kennesaw, Georgia, voluntarily began a recall on September 18, 2026, of its CryoPatch SynerGraft (SG) Pulmonary Human Cardiac Patch, Model SGP010. The product was taken from a 64-year-old human donor, which was outside the cardiac tissue donor age specification of newborn to 60 years. The patch was implanted, and due to limitations of long-term in vivo data, the possibility of premature graft dysfunction cannot be excluded.

The FDA added the recall to its Enforcement Report and classified it on October 30, 2026. The distribution was in Illinois.
