| Reason/Issue |
Boston Scientific has received reports of cracking with specific lots of Encore 26 Inflation Device single packs. The device trays from these lots have the potential to crack under certain handling conditions, such as impact during shipment. This issue has been attributed to a change in the material used in the packaging process. Use of an Encore device with a cracked device tray during a procedure could result in patient infection if used within the sterile field. To date, no reports of patient harm have been received. |
