Boston Scientific Recalls AngioJet Spiroflex Thrombectomy Sets Due to Incorrect Expiry Date

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: This is a Class II recall involving a minor labeling error (incorrect expiry date) with no reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
Plain-English summary
Boston Scientific Corporation is recalling nine units of the AngioJet Spiroflex Thrombectomy Set: Peripheral (UPN 106553-004, Catalog No. 106553). These medical devices are used with the AngioJet Ultra System to break apart and remove thrombus from the vascular system and A-V access conduits. The units were sterilized using ethylene oxide.
The recall was initiated because the products were distributed with an incorrect use-by (expiry) date. The correct use-by date is November 2015, but the affected units are labeled with a use-by date of December 2015.
The affected units were distributed worldwide, including in the United States (Arizona, Missouri, and Ohio) and internationally to Germany and Spain. Healthcare providers and facilities that received these specific units should stop using them and contact Boston Scientific for further instructions.
