ARTG 391872
(Boston Scientific Pty Ltd - Ultrasound system, imaging, cardiovascular)
Recall Action Level Hospital
Recall Action Classification Class II
Recall Action Commencement Date 3/09/2024
Responsible Entity Boston Scientific Pty Ltd
Reason/Issue Boston Scientific has received reports indicating the grid mark overlay on the cross-sectional view did not present correctly when an OptiCross 18 Peripheral Imaging Catheter was connected to the AVVIGO+ Multi-Modality Guidance System while in either Live or Record mode.

Their investigation has determined that, due to a software anomaly, a 9-grid mark overlay is incorrectly displayed during Live mode when AVVIGO+ is connected to an OptiCross 18 Peripheral Imaging Catheter.

Note that the correct overlay display for this catheter is the 15-grid mark overlay, which allows for a reference depth setting of 14.9mm for peripheral catheters.

This software problem is limited to Live or Record mode. In Review mode, the correct 15-grid mark overlay is displayed, and the vessel image is correctly scaled to the appropriate size.

No patient complications were reported as a result of this defect to date.
Recall Action Product Defect Correction
Recall Action Instructions Boston Scientific recommends using the measurement tools, available in Review mode only, to take vessel measurements (refer to detailed instructions included within the AVVIGO+ Multi-Modality Guidance System Instructions for Use, IFU).

If measuring using grid mark overlay is preferred, it should only be performed in Review mode. Additionally, a physician can manually adjust the depth settings through the ‘Case Settings’ menu or elect to remove the grid marks from the display at time of use.

Boston Scientific is developing a software update to address this anomaly.
