  • Action
    On 29/03/2008, the company Perugia Plastie Company withdrew from the market the batches of the references contained in the attached message of the medical device called composite matrices for dermal regeneration RENOSKIN, manufactured by Perouse Plastie. This withdrawal follows a few cases reporting difficulties rehydrating the matrix detected during a prospective follow-up on these medical devices. In the event of recent implantation of a device whose hydration would not have been optimal, a risk of slowing or absence of colonization of the matrix could be observed locally and generate a potential risk of localized infection. Perouse Plastie has directly notified the recipients of the incriminated lots with the enclosed message (01/04/2008) (30 ko) validated by Afssaps. This information is addressed to the directors, correspondents of materiovigilance, plastic surgeons and pharmacists responsible for sterile medical devices for dissemination where appropriate to the services concerned. The relevant European Competent Authorities are informed of this measure by the manufacturer.
