  • openFDA Device Enforcement Report-date coverage June 20, 2012–July 08, 2026 Known gap: openFDA describes 2004-present coverage, but the current export has no report-date records in this interval.
  • openFDA Device Recall event_date_initiated coverage June 01, 1997–June 30, 2026

Enforcement coverage uses report dates; product initiation dates can precede those bounds. Device-enrichment coverage uses FDA event_date_initiated.

CryoValve SG Pulmonary Human Heart Valve. The valve is cryopreserved in a tissue culture medium containing cryoprotectants within the innermost pouch of a three-pouch packaging system. The packaging system not only withstands ultracold temperatures, but also allows for aseptic introduction of the valve into the operating environment. Supercooling by liquid nitrogen boost is begun prior to crystallization to minimize ice crystal damage to the valve matrix. Finally, the valve is transferred to a liquid nitrogen freezer for long-term storage at or below 135¿C. CryoValve SG is distributed in two anatomic configurations: pulmonary valve and conduit, and pulmonary valve.

CryoPatch SG Pulmonary Human Cardiac Patch. The patch is cryopreserved in a tissue culture medium containing cryoprotectants within the innermost pouch of a three-pouch packaging system. The packaging system not only withstands ultracold temperatures, but also allows for aseptic introduction of the patch into the operating environment. Supercooling by liquid nitrogen boost is begun prior to crystallization to minimize ice crystal damage to the patch matrix. Finally, the patch is transferred for long-term storage at or below 135¿ C. CryoPatch SG is distributed in three anatomic configurations: pulmonary hemi-artery, pulmonary trunk and pulmonary branch.
