What this record is not
A recall record is reproduced as FDA published it, and the classification is FDA’s. SPEQ adds no interpretation, and a recall concerns the products and dates in the record — it is not a statement about a company’s other products or its current status.
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.
