What the authority reported
In August 2024, Boston Scientific reminded deep brain stimulation (DBS) customers to follow the steps outlined in the labeling/ifu (instructions for use) to implant Vercise DBS Implantable Pulse Generators (IPGs) within a subcutaneous pocket. Boston Scientific is now providing an update to the previous communication. An IFU revision is being implemented to include an additional warning statement. Recall start date: July 8, 2025
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.
