GreenLight HPSEA Laser Fiber Recall Due to Card Incompatibility Error

Boston Scientific is recalling GreenLight HPSEA Laser Fibers due to an incompatibility with the fiber card that causes an error message and requires equipment replacement during procedures.

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: This is an FDA Class III recall involving a device compatibility issue that causes operational failure and procedure delays but no reported illness, injury, or safety risk. Class III recalls are typically scored 1-2, and this warrants a 2 due to the operational impact requiring corrective action during procedures.

Plain-English summary

Boston Scientific Corporation is recalling GreenLight HPSEA Laser Fibers (UPN 0010-2092, Lot 27770466). Fifty-seven units from the affected lot were distributed domestically to facilities in Arkansas, California, Illinois, Maine, Michigan, North Carolina, and Texas, with additional units distributed to Australia, Canada, and France.

Users of the affected laser fibers have reported receiving a "Fiber type does not match card type" error message on the GreenLight XPS Laser console. This incompatibility between the laser fiber and fiber card requires replacement of both components during procedures.

The result of this incompatibility is prolonged procedure time while defective equipment is replaced. The FDA has classified this as a Class III recall.
