Reason
Boston Scientific's complaint investigations have identified that a subset of air ingress complaints are associated with hemostatic valve damage related to dilator insertion orientation during device preparation. Valve damage may result in air ingress, potential air embolism, and associated patient harm. This risk can be mitigated by inserting the dilator straight through the center of the valve and fully advancing it into the sheath body.

Reason
Increased reports of stent deployment and expansion issues. The most common outcome reasonably foreseeable resulting from difficulty deploying the stent is prolongation of the procedure to exchange the device for a new one. The most serious reasonably foreseeable outcome in cases where the first flange is unable to deploy or expand would be a cascade of events resulting in additional intervention, either endoscopic or surgical, to remove the stent and close the puncture site.

Reason
Boston Scientific is initiating the removal of certain batches of Coyote" Over-the-Wire (OTW) Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) Balloon Dilatation Catheter devices due to the potential for inflation/deflation difficulty during use in the peripheral vasculature. An internal investigation found that a manufacturing process variation resulted in catheters that may not properly inflate/deflate. This was limited to Coyote OTW batches manufactured from 12Sep2025 through 13Oct2025. The processing variation has since been addressed. No other material numbers or batches are impacted by this removal.

Reason
Boston Scientific has identified a higher likelihood of air embolism events when procedures are performed without positive pressure-controlled ventilation. According to published literature and clinical data, in percutaneous procedures requiring transseptal access to the left atrium when conscious or deep sedation is used, patients have an approximately three-times higher risk (U.S. study) of negative left atrium pressure and air ingress. This risk is especially prevalent in patients with pre-existing low left atrial pressure, hypovolemia, and partial upper airway collapse.

Reason
Boston Scientific has received reports indicating the grid mark overlay on the cross-sectional view did not present correctly when an OptiCross 18 Peripheral Imaging Catheter was connected to the AVVIGO+ Multi-Modality Guidance System while in either Live or Record mode. The Boston Scientific investigation determined that, due to a software anomaly, a 9-grid mark overlay is incorrectly displayed during Live mode when AVVIGO+ is connected to an OptiCross 18 Peripheral Imaging Catheter. Note that the correct overlay display for this catheter is the 15-grid mark overlay, which allows for a reference depth setting of 14.9mm for peripheral catheters. This software anomaly is limited to Live or Record mode. In Review mode, the correct 15-grid mark overlay is displayed, and the vessel image is correctly scaled to the appropriate size.

The most server health consequence that is reasonably expected to occur if a catheter with this potential issue is used is embolization which would result of the flaking marks advance while flushing the catheter.

During testing on the Habib EUS RFA device, a temperature increase was observed at the tip of the EUS-FNA needle. It was determined that capacitive 5 coupling presents a risk of energy transfer from the Habib EUS RFA active tip to the introducer device. This capacitive coupling could result in thermal injury to tissue outside of the targeted treatment area due to its use with an un-insulated EUS-FNA needle requiring little or no medical intervention.
