Boston Scientific is recalling 14,145 Rebel Monorail PtCr Coronary Stent Systems because they may be missing a hydrophilic coating step.

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 recall involves a high-risk medical device where a manufacturing defect (missing coating) creates a risk of harm, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses.

Plain-English summary

Boston Scientific Corporation is recalling 14,145 units of the Rebel Monorail PtCr Coronary Stent System, specifically the 3.0mm x 24mm size (REF / Catalog No. H7493927324300). The affected devices are balloon expandable Platinum Chromium (PtCr) Alloy stents pre-mounted on a Monorail Catheter.
