Device Description

The HeRO (Hemodialysis Reliable Outflow) Graft is a longterm access solution for access-challenged and catheter-dependent patients. HeRO Graft is a fully subcutaneous surgical implant. It provides arterial venous (AV) access with continuous outflow into the central venous system. The HeRO Graft traverses central venous stenosis allowing for long-term hemodialysis access. HeRO Graft consists of a proprietary Venous Outflow Component and only one of the following options: • The Arterial Graft Component (not included) • The Adapter (a separate commercially available 6mm ID vascular graft is not included with the Adapter) The Venous Outflow Component (not included) has a 5mm inner diameter (ID), 19F outer diameter (OD), and is 40cm long. It consists of radiopaque silicone with braided nitinol reinforcement (for kink and crush resistance) and a radiopaque marker band at the tip. The Adapter connects a 6mm ID vascular graft (not included) to the Venous Outflow Component. The Adapter (titanium) has a tapered ID (6mm to 5mm) to provide a smooth transition from a 6mm ID vascular graft to the 5mm ID Venous Outflow Component. A disposable Graft Expander is provided to aid in connecting a 6mm ID vascular graft to the Adapter. See Instructions for Use for further details regarding the grafts permitted for use with the Adapter.

GMDN Terms

Code	Name	Definition	Implantable	Status
13586	Arteriovenous shunt	An implanted device designed to provide a passage for blood to flow between an artery typically located in an arm, and a peripheral vein, central vein or right atrium, creating a graft fistula that provides blood access for external procedures, especially haemodialysis. It is a synthetic vascular graft/graft assembly with a thin wall and appropriate size (commonly 6 mm diameter) and configuration to facilitate vessel puncturing. It is typically used when it is not possible or convenient to create a direct arteriovenous fistula or for patients who have exhausted peripheral venous access. Disposable devices associated with implantation may be included.	Yes	Active
