Reason/Issue |
In August 2017, supply of Pinnacle LITE Pelvic Floor Repair Kit was discontinued from the Australian market. In December 2017, the indications for use for Xenform Soft Tissue Repair Matrix were amended to remove the indication for transvaginal placement of pelvic organ prolapse.
On Tuesday, April 16, 2019, the United States Food and Drug Administration ( US FDA) ordered all manufacturers of surgical mesh for transvaginal repair of pelvic organ prolapse to stop selling products immediately and withdraw all products from the US market. The US FDA does not believe sufficient clinical evidence is available to assure the benefits of these devices outweigh their probable risks. As a result, Boston Scientific is also withdrawing these products in Australia.
This action is being undertaken to ensure any inventory remaining at customer sites with the indication for transvaginal placement is returned to Boston Scientific.
No other Boston Scientific products are impacted by this action. |
