What You Should Do

Firms were advised, if the tissue has not been implanted, not to implant or distribute the tissue and to place it into quarantine. Consignees were to contact CryoLife''s Regulatory Affairs Department-Field Assurance, and a representative would issue a Return Materials Authorization number and will provide specific instructions for returning the tissue.
