Boston Scientific Recalls PT Graphix Magnet J-TIP Guidewires Due to Tip Defect
Boston Scientific is voluntarily recalling PT Graphix Magnet J-TIP Guidewires because the wires are straight instead of having the pre-formed J-tip.
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 a voluntary precautionary measure for a labeling/shape discrepancy that results in a limited procedure delay, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
