  • Causa
    Boston scientific has received reports from the field that the tip of the dilator has separated from the body of the dilator during procedure. if the tip broke off as the shaft was being advanced near the ureteopelvic junction (upj), then inadvertent blunt trauma to the renal parenchyma or renal hilar vessels could occur. this could produce anything from a small haematoma up to haemorrhage requiring medical therapy (transfusion), radiologic intervention (embolisation) or surgery (nephrectomy). however, in most cases the attempted removal of the tip would result in a second intervention. unless the tip fell off in the packaging or at placement over the guidewire the defect is unlikely to be detected prior to the procedure.

  • Comentario del fabricante
    “We take a patient-first approach to assessing the applicability of every recall and communicate to regulatory bodies in all geographies where the recalled device is sold,” Boston Scientific said in a statement to ICIJ. “We have coordinated several recalls across many countries in a timely manner,” the company said, adding that it complies with all national laws, which can often vary and require different processes for reporting information or taking action on recalls. The company said it uses a rigorous and uniform process to take action on recalls and that “when we initiate a field action (e.g. recall, safety alert), every customer who has received an affected product receives a communication that includes a letter for the physician.”
