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 risk of peritonitis, a serious medical condition, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Boston Scientific Corporation is recalling 32 units of the AXIOS Stent and Electrocautery - Enhanced Delivery System (10mm x15mm, UPN: M00553650). The affected lots are 26152465, 26152466, and 26152467, with an expiration date of 10/8/2022. The product was distributed nationwide in the US.
The recall is due to a defect where the rotating luer fitting at the distal end of the delivery system handle may become detached from the nose of the delivery during device preparation, stent delivery, or use. This detachment can result in a delay of the procedure or a risk of peritonitis developing from the leakage of enteric, pseudocyst, or biliary contents into the peritoneal cavity.
Healthcare providers and facilities that have received these specific units should stop using them and contact Boston Scientific for instructions on return or disposal. The stent is intended for implantation up to 60 days and should be removed upon confirmation of pseudocyst or walled-off necrosis resolution.
