with physiological and clinical information,
obtained non invasively and without the use
of ionizing radiation. The MR system produces
transverse, coronal, sagital, oblique, and
curved cross-sectional images that display
the internal structure of the head, body, and
extremities. The images produced by the MR
system reflect the spatial distribution of
protons (hydrogen nuclei) exhibiting magnetic
resonance. The NMR properties that determine
the image appearance and proton density,
spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) and

PRODUCT
PROCEED Surgical Mesh is a sterile, thin, flexible laminate mesh designed
for the repair of hernias and other fascial deficiencies. The mesh product
is comprised of an oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) fabric, and PROLENE
Soft Mesh, a nonabsorbable polypropylene mesh, which is encapsulated by a
polydioxanone polymer. The polypropylene mesh side of the product allows
for tissue ingrowth while the ORC side provides a bioresorbable layer that
physically separates the polypropylene mesh from underlying tissue and organ
surfaces during the wound-healing period to minimize tissue attachment to
the mesh. The polydioxanone provides a bond to the ORC layer. Recall # Z-0449-06

Boston Scientific Sentinol Self-Expanding Nitinol Biliary Stent System with
Over-the-Wire Delivery System. Catalog No. 38948-8607. Sterile. The Sentinol
Nitinol Stent System is comprised of two components: the implantable endoprosthesis
and the stent delivery system. The stent is a laser cut self-expanding stent
composed of a nickel titanium alloy(nitinol). The stent is constrained within
a 6F delivery system. The delivery system is of coaxial design with an exterior
shaft to protect and constrain the stent prior to deployment. An inner shaft,
with two radiopaque markers, aids in the placement of the stent. The delivery
system is compatible with 0.035 in. (0.89mm) guidewires. When ready to be
implanted, the stent is deployed by retracting the exterior shaft of the
delivery system. As the stent is exposed to body temperature it expands to
appose the duct wall. UPN # H7493894886070, Recall # Z-0440-06
