    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    BASED ON A REVIEW OF INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE TREATING PHYSICIAN AND A REVIEW OF APPLICABLE PRODUCT RECORDS, ADVANCED BIOHEALING'S MEDICAL AFFAIRS EXPERTS CONCLUDED THAT IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THE APPLICATION OF DERMAGRAFT CAUSED THE PATIENT'S INFECTION. ALL LOTS OF DERMAGRAFT MUST PASS EXTENSIVE SAFETY TESTING PRIOR TO BEING RELEASED TO MARKET. INFECTIONS ARE A NORMAL HURDLE IN TREATING DIABETIC FOOT ULCERS AND DERMAGRAFT WAS SHOWN NOT TO INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF THESE EVENTS DURING CLINICAL TRIALS. ADVANCED BIOHEALING, INC. CONSIDERS PATIENT SAFETY ITS NUMBER ONE CONCERN AND IS TRACKING ADVERSE EVENTS TO ENSURE NO TRENDS APPEAR SUGGESTING THAT DERMAGRAFT OR SPECIFIC LOTS OF DERMAGRAFT INCREASE PATIENT'S RISK OF DEVELOPING INFECTIONS. SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2007, ADVANCED BIOHEALING HAS SOLD ALL PIECES OF DERMAGRAFT TO MEDICAL CENTERS AND HAS RECEIVED ONLY 5 REPORTS OF PATIENTS WHO DEVELOPED INFECTIONS WHILE BEING TREATED WITH DERMAGRAFT.
