  • Cause
    Boston scientific has received a field report noting that some units within a certain lot (00112758) were missing the bottom pouch seal that forms part of the sterile barrier. this was caused by an alternate label reprint process which resulted in the units missing a step in the packaging process. the compromised seal is completely missing and is obvious to the user. the device can be readily exchanged resulting in an insignificant prolongation in the medical procedure. to date there have been no reports of patient injury associated with a missing pouch seal.
  • Action
    Boston Scientific is advising customers to immediately discontinue use of and segregate product from the affected lot, and then return it to Boston Scientific. Credit will be issued for returned stock. This action has been closed-out on 28/06/2017.

  • Commentaire du fabricant
    “We take a patient-first approach to assessing the applicability of every recall and communicate to regulatory bodies in all geographies where the recalled device is sold,” Boston Scientific said in a statement to ICIJ. “We have coordinated several recalls across many countries in a timely manner,” the company said, adding that it complies with all national laws, which can often vary and require different processes for reporting information or taking action on recalls. The company said it uses a rigorous and uniform process to take action on recalls and that “when we initiate a field action (e.g. recall, safety alert), every customer who has received an affected product receives a communication that includes a letter for the physician.”
