Plain-English summary
Boston Scientific Corporation is recalling 78 units of the Hot AXIOS Stent and Electrocautery - Enhanced Delivery System 20mm x10mm (OUS). The affected products are identified by lot numbers 26167277, 26171099, 26152171, 26171383, 26171380, and 26152172, with expiration dates ranging from October 8, 2021, to October 12, 2021. The products were 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 in the procedure or a risk of peritonitis developing from the leakage of enteric, pseudocyst, or biliary contents into the peritoneal cavity.
The stent is intended for implantation up to 60 days and should be removed upon confirmation of pseudocyst or walled-off necrosis resolution. Healthcare providers and facilities should stop using the affected devices and contact Boston Scientific for further instructions.
