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-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, specifically the risk of peritonitis from leakage of bodily contents.
Plain-English summary
Boston Scientific Corporation is recalling 61 units of the Hot AXIOS Stent and Electrocautery - Enhanced Delivery System 10mm x15mm (OUS). The affected units are identified by lot numbers 26156059, 26167275, 26167276, 26156742, and 26156740, with expiration dates of 10/9/2022 and 10/12/2022. The product was distributed nationwide in the United States.
The recall was initiated because 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 defect may result in a delay to 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 should stop using the affected units and contact Boston Scientific for instructions on return or replacement. The stent is intended for implantation up to 60 days and should be removed upon confirmation of pseudocyst or walled-off necrosis resolution.
