Recall Action Level	Hospital
Recall Action Classification	Class II
Recall Action Commencement Date	7/12/2015
Responsible Entity	Boston Scientific Pty Ltd
Reason/Issue	Boston Scientific is recalling certain lots of 9Fr ACUITY Pro Coronary Sinus Outer Guide Catheters due to potential for separation of the proximal handle from the shaft. Boston Scientific's investigation concluded that if the hub and shaft are aligned off-centre in the bonding equipment during manufacturing, the result may be a reduced bond, which may separate during cutting. The affected products were manufactured during the time period when the equipment was likely to be misaligned. The most serious injury foreseeable with unexpected hub detachment is a moderate delay in the procedure to reposition a dislodged lead. Boston Scientific has received reports of handle separations during the cut and removal process; there have been no reports of patient harm.
