Artivion, an Atlanta-based medical device company, has received a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its AMDS Hybrid Prosthesis designed to treat DeBakey Type 1 dissections when malperfusion occurs. This HDE ensures select patients can be treated with the device before the FDA makes its final approval decision.

The AMDS Hybrid Prosthesis was designed to help clinicians treat DeBakey Type 1 dissections complicated by malperfusion. It works as a complement to hemiarch replacement, preserving the native arch and making reinterventions possible if needed. 

The recall includes a total of nearly 45,000 devices that should be returned to the manufacturer.
