Class II FDA medical device recall by Boston Scientific Corporation, initiated 2020-08-24, terminated 2024-04-05. It names one FDA 510(k) clearance: K200733. Product: Opticross 35 15 MHz Peripheral Imaging Catheter 8F (2.74 mm) X 105 cm Expiration Date June 8th 2021 - July 22nd 2021 Material Number (UPN) # H7493932800350 UDI # 08714729984542 Lot #25754545; 25852104; 2582106; 25856700 Product Usage: intended for ultrasound examination of peripheral vascular pathology only. Intravascular ultrasound imaging is indicated in patients who are candidates for transluminal interventional procedures.. Reason: Opticross 35 Peripheral Imaging Catheter is being recalled because the incremental telescoping length markings near the proximal end of the catheter shaft can flake off when the device is manipulated. No patient harm has been reported to date. The most common potential adverse health consequence would be prolonged procedure to exchange the catheter for another as this potential issue is observable and has occurred outside of the patient's body. The most server health consequence that is reasonably expected to occur if a catheter with this potential issue is used is embolization which would result of the flaking marks advance while flushing the catheter. All recalled devices should be returned to Boston Scientific..
