Boston Scientific Recalls Spinal Cord Stimulation Leads Due to Labeling Error
Boston Scientific is voluntarily removing specific spinal cord stimulation leads because the 'use by date' on the label is later than the correct date. No adverse health consequences are expected.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 1/5 (Low).
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that no adverse health consequence is expected to occur, and the issue is limited to a labeling error regarding the use-by date, which aligns with the 'Low' severity criteria for documentation or packaging-only problems.
Plain-English summary
Boston Scientific Neuromodulation Corporation is initiating a voluntary removal of certain spinal cord stimulation leads, lead extensions, adapters, and deep brain stimulation lead extensions.
