Boston Scientific Recalls ELUVIA Drug-Eluting Vascular Stent System Due to Packaging Error

Boston Scientific is recalling 27 units of the ELUVIA Drug-Eluting Vascular Stent System because some 6x40mm stents were incorrectly placed in 6x100mm packaging.

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, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The hazard is a packaging error (mislabeling of size) rather than a defect in the stent itself, and no injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
