What the authority reported
Boston Scientific initiated a removal of certain batches of Expo 5F angiographic catheters due to an increase in complaints related to an inability to advance the guidewire through the lumen of the device. Our internal investigation has revealed that there is evidence of the polyurethane layer delaminating and in some instances material detachment in the catheters inner lining. Recall start date: March 21, 2024
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
