Recall details

Why it was recalled

According to the FDA_DEVICE notice, the identified hazard is: Boston Scientific has identified a higher likelihood of air embolism events when procedures are performed without positive pressure-controlled ventilation. According to published literature and clinical data, in percutaneous procedures requiring transseptal access to the left atrium when conscious or deep sedation is used, patients have an approximately three-times higher risk (U.S. study) of negative left atrium pressure and air ingress. This risk is especially prevalent in patients with pre-existing low left atrial pressure, hypovolemia, and partial upper airway collapse.

This Class I recall concerns device products distributed in United States and was recorded by FDA_DEVICE. Recalls in this category are published so that owners, retailers, and importers can identify affected units and act quickly.
