Boston Scientific AVVIGO+ Guidance System Grid Mark Display Error

Boston Scientific is recalling the AVVIGO+ Guidance System due to a software bug displaying incorrect grid marks during live imaging. The device shows 9 grid marks instead of 15, which could affect accurate vessel measurement in cardiac interventions.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The device qualifies as a risk-of-harm product because incorrect grid mark display could affect vessel measurement accuracy in interventional cardiology procedures. No injuries, deaths, or illnesses have been reported. The FDA classified this as a Class II recall, indicating moderate public health significance.

Plain-English summary

The Boston Scientific AVVIGO+ Multi-Modality Guidance System is being recalled due to a software display error. The system provides physicians with physiologic and anatomical information for vessel imaging and interventional procedures. Thirty-one units have been distributed nationwide.

When connected to an OptiCross 18 Peripheral Imaging Catheter in Live or Record mode, the AVVIGO+ system displays an incorrect grid mark overlay. The system shows a 9-grid overlay instead of the correct 15-grid overlay. The correct 15-grid overlay allows for a proper reference depth setting of 14.9mm for peripheral catheters. In Review mode, the system displays correctly with the proper 15-grid overlay.

Boston Scientific's investigation determined the problem is a software anomaly that occurs only in Live and Record modes when the peripheral imaging catheter is connected. The incorrect grid overlay does not affect the system's performance in Review mode, where the vessel image is correctly scaled.
