Selective Angiographic Catheters Recalled Due to Material Delamination
Boston Scientific recalls Expo 5F Selective Angiographic Catheters due to polyurethane layer delamination and material detachment in the catheter lining, which may prevent guidewire advancement during medical procedures.
What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: FDA classified this as a Class I recall for a cardiac catheter with material delamination and guidewire obstruction. Per the severity rubric, FDA Class I recalls are never classified below Severe (4). The device malfunction poses direct risk to cardiac procedure safety.
