Expected lifetime of Ankura Device

The Ankura Stent Graft is a permanently implanted device. Under normal circumstances, it will stay in the patient's body for life, unless it is required to be removed by the doctor’s professional judgment. Lifetech evaluated the durability and integrity of the implanted device. After 10 years simulated physiological loading of 380 million cycles of the implanted device, tested samples were examined visually under 3D microscope with magnification (20x). There was no evidence of Nitinol wire pitting or cracking, nor of fatigue related fractures. The device was intact after 10 years simulated in vivo physiological loading of 380 million cycles, and no perforation or detachment of the ePTFE graft as a result of pulsatile fatigue test. Based on the durability and integrity testing results, it can be stated that the expected lifetime of the device is at least 10 years.
