- 2025-08-20FDA-DeviceClass IIFARAWAVE 1.0 Pulsed Field Ablation Catheter, Product ID M004PF41M401
The potentially impacted units were manufactured using specific equipment that may have caused cracks in the electrode bands on the catheter's distal end.
- 2025-08-20FDA-DeviceClass ICarotid WALLSTENT Monorail Endoprosthesis Closed Cell Self-Expanding Stent, stent and stent delivery system. Material numbers: H7493915010240 CAROTID WALLSTENT MONORAIL 10.0-24; H7493915010310 CAROTID WALLSTENT MONORAIL 10.0-31; H749391506220 CAROTID WALLSTENT MONORAIL 6.0-22; H749391508210 CAROTID WALLSTENT MONORAIL 8.0-21; H749391508290 CAROTID WALLSTENT MONORAIL 8.0-29; H965SCH647010 CAROTID WALLSTENT MONORAIL 6.0-22; H965SCH647070 CAROTID WALLSTENT MONORAIL 8.0-21; H965SC
Certain batches are being removed due to an increase in complaints received in which physicians encountered greater than anticipated resistance while attempting to withdraw the stent delivery system (SDS) from the guidewire or embolic protection device (EPD) after successful stent deployment. The most serious potential adverse health consequence is stroke. Other risks include delay to procedure, vessel injury, vessel spasm, or stent disruption/damage necessitating additional intervention.
- 2025-07-16FDA-DeviceClass IITorflex Transseptal Guiding Sheath Kit (TFK-M) TF85-32-63-45 TORFLEX 8.5F 63CM 45DEG TF85-32-63-55 TORFLEX 8.5F 63CM 55DEG Used for the percutaneous introduction of various types of cardiovascular catheters and guidewires to all heart chambers, including the left atrium via transseptal perforation / puncture.
Potential for hole in the Tyvek layer of the sterile barrier pouch, which may compromise device sterility. Issue could potentially lead to systemic infection and sepsis in worst case scenario. Potential punctures may go undetected in clinical settings due to small size and variable location.
- 2025-07-16FDA-DeviceClass IIVersaCross Transseptal Sheath Kit (VXS) Product Description/IDs VXS0201 VXS 63CM/45DEG/D0 SHEATH VXS2112 VERSACROSS SHEATH (63CM 45DEG D0)-J Used for the percutaneous introduction of various types of cardiovascular catheters and guidewires to all heart chambers, including the left atrium via transseptal perforation / puncture.
Potential for hole in the Tyvek layer of the sterile barrier pouch, which may compromise device sterility. Issue could potentially lead to systemic infection and sepsis in worst case scenario. Potential punctures may go undetected in clinical settings due to small size and variable location.
- 2025-07-16FDA-DeviceClass IIVersaCross RF Wire (VXW). Indicated for creation of an atrial septal defect in the heart. Product ID VXW0002 Device approved and commercialized in Japan only.
Potential for hole in the Tyvek layer of the sterile barrier pouch, which may compromise device sterility. Issue could potentially lead to systemic infection and sepsis in worst case scenario. Potential punctures may go undetected in clinical settings due to small size and variable location.

- 2025-05-07FDA-DeviceClass IIIceSeed 1.5 CX NEEDLE OUS, Cryoablation Needle, REF H7493967534170. The needles are intended to convert high-pressure gas to either a very cold Freezing application or to a warm Thawing application.
Boston Scientific has identified that IceSeedTM CX needles manufactured between April 2024 and February 2025 have been programmed with DEMO settings instead of Commercial settings (see Affected Product Listing). Upon initial connection of an IceSeed CX needle to the Cryoablation System, the user will be prompted to perform the Needle Integrity and Functionality Test (NIT) per standard protocols. The affected needles perform as intended unless they are disconnected and reconnected to any channel after testing. In this case, the Cryoablation System will prompt re-execution of the NIT.
