AXIOS Stent Delivery System Outer Sheath May Detach During Deployment
Boston Scientific's AXIOS Stent Delivery System is being recalled because the outer sheath can detach during use, preventing proper stent expansion and requiring device exchange.
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: FDA Class II recall with a confirmed mechanical defect in the delivery system that prevents proper stent expansion. The defect is detected during the procedure and managed through device exchange, with no reported injuries or hospitalizations.
Plain-English summary
Boston Scientific Corporation is recalling the AXIOS Stent and Electrocautery-Enhanced Delivery System (10mm x 10mm) due to a defect in the device's outer sheath. During the procedure, the distal black tip of the sheath can detach from the device and remain around the stent saddle, preventing proper stent expansion.
When the outer sheath detaches, the healthcare provider must exchange the affected device for a new one, which significantly extends the procedure duration. The recall affects 495 units distributed in the United States, including Puerto Rico, and 2 units distributed internationally, with 41 specific lot numbers identified.
