SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Agenda: On June 12, 2018, the committee will discuss, make 
recommendations, and vote on the premarket approval application 
sponsored by Cordis, Inc. for the INCRAFT AAA Stent Graft System, which 
is intended for the endovascular treatment of infra-renal abdominal 
aortic aneurysms in patients with appropriate anatomy. The INCRAFT 
device is being evaluated in the INSPIRATION study, a multicenter, 
prospective, non-randomized investigation. The study met its primary 
safety and effectiveness endpoints, but results also showed higher than 
anticipated rates of certain adverse events. The committee discussion 
will focus on how these events impact the long-term safety and 
effectiveness, as well as the benefit/risk profile of the device.
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no 
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post 
the background material on its website prior to the meeting, the 
background material will be made publicly available at the location of 
the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be 
posted on FDA's website after the meeting. Background material is 
available at https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting 
link.
    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or 
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the committee. 
Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before June 
5, 2018. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled on June 
12, 2018, between approximately 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Those individuals 
interested in making formal oral presentations should notify the 
contact person and submit a brief statement of the general nature of 
the evidence or arguments they wish to present, the names and addresses 
of proposed participants, and an indication of the approximate time 
requested to make their presentation on or before May 25, 2018. Time 
allotted for each presentation may be limited. If the number of 
registrants requesting to speak is greater than can be reasonably 
accommodated during the scheduled open public hearing session, FDA may 
conduct a lottery to determine the speakers for the scheduled open 
public hearing session. The contact person will notify interested 
persons regarding their request to speak by May 29, 2018.

that the Agency is not responsible for providing access to electrical
