HURRICANE RX BILIARY BALLOON DILATATION CATHETER

Reason

Boston Scientific Corporation (BSC) initiated a removal of specific lots/batches of Hurricane RX Biliary Balloon Dilatation Catheters in response to an increase in complaints of the RX tunnel component (blacksheath) detaching from the catheter shaft. Investigation has shown this is due to a lower bond strength of the tunnel component which may lead to detachment.
