Boston Scientific Recalls Auriga XL 4007 Laser Systems Due to Assembly Defect

Boston Scientific is recalling nine Auriga XL 4007 Laser Systems because incorrectly assembled trigger wire components may cause error codes or prevent the consoles from starting.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves a functional failure (failure to start) rather than a direct risk of serious injury or death, and no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
