\"bostonBoston Scientific has recalled all 21,000+ of its Fetch 2 aspiration catheters currently on the market after complaints began surfacing of shaft breakage during surgical procedures to remove coronary artery blood clots. <\/p>\n

The US Food and Drug Administration<\/a> (FDA) has classified the recall as Class 1, which their website describes as, “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to [the] violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”<\/p>\n

Boston Scientific has stated that patients who previously<\/em> underwent procedures that utilized the defective medical device were not at any risk of adverse events. Even if the shaft broke during their procedure, the device was removed\/retrieved and patients can expect no further complications. <\/p>\n

The recalled catheters were manufactured between June 2014 and February 2016. Though they are now distributed by Boston Scientific, the devices are packaged and labeled as a Bayer Medical Care product. The Fetch 2 catheter profile was acquired by Boston Scientific in 2014.<\/p>\n
