Plain-English summary
Boston Scientific Corporation is initiating a voluntary removal of three lots of JETSTREAM atherectomy catheters. The affected products include two lots of JETSTREAM SC 1.85mm and one lot of JETSTREAM XC 2.1mm catheters. These devices are designed for use in treating vascular disease in the peripheral vasculature.

The affected units were distributed in the United States and in Germany, Great Britain, Poland, and the Netherlands. Healthcare providers and facilities should check their inventory for the specific lot codes 18775553, 18775552, and 18822086 and stop using any units that match these descriptions.
