Boston Scientific Recalls Auriga XL 4007 Laser System for Cooling Defect

Boston Scientific is recalling specific Auriga XL 4007 laser systems due to a mechanical cooling issue that may cause premature power degradation and low power errors.

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 defect (power degradation) that triggers a safety mechanism (stand-by mode) to stop laser emission, representing a risk of harm or procedural interruption without reported injuries or fatalities.

Plain-English summary

Boston Scientific Corporation is recalling the Auriga XL 4007 Brazil System, Model M0068FS4007B0, with serial number 21302770. This medical device is intended for use in various surgical procedures, including urology, gastroenterology, and general surgery, to perform incision, excision, and coagulation of soft tissue.

The recall is due to a potential issue in the mechanical cooling system that may cause the console to exhibit faster than normal power degradation. This defect can lead to a low power error (1301) being displayed on the screen. The console is designed to stop emitting laser pulses and enter a stand-by mode after this error message is displayed.

The affected unit was distributed worldwide to numerous countries, including Australia, Brazil, Germany, and the United States. Healthcare facilities and users should stop using the affected device and contact Boston Scientific Corporation for further instructions on the recall.
