The hazard
Potential safety issue involving the Mean Aneurysm Flow Amplitude (MAFA) ratio of AneurysmFlow (Interventional Tool). Philips has determined that the MAFA ratio does not provide reliable prognostic information regarding aneurysm occlusion following Flow Diverter Stent treatment, however despite being stated in the IUF, it is being relied on for making clinical decisions.
