Boston Scientific Recalls Auriga 30 Laser Systems Due to Power Degradation

Boston Scientific is recalling eight Auriga 30 laser systems worldwide because a mechanical cooling issue may cause faster-than-normal power degradation and low power errors.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a medical device with a functional defect that could impact surgical procedures, but the device has a built-in safety mechanism that stops laser emission, and no injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Boston Scientific Corporation is recalling eight units of the Auriga 30 Brazil System (UPN: M0068S30B0) due to a potential issue in the mechanical cooling system. The affected devices are intended for use in various surgical procedures, including urology, gastroenterology, and general surgery.

The recall is being conducted because certain Auriga consoles may exhibit faster than normal power degradation. This issue can lead to a low power error (1301) being displayed on the screen. When this error occurs, the console is designed to stop emitting laser pulses and enter a stand-by mode.

The affected units were distributed worldwide to countries including Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Egypt, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mexico, Romania, Russia Fed., South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam. Users should identify their specific serial numbers against the list provided in the official recall notice to determine if their device is affected.
