    On 18/06/2010, Boston Scientific SAS has withdrawn from the market the batches and references listed in the attached Annex A (21/06/2010) (19 KB) of the medical devices named: SynchroTM 14 and Synchro2TM Guidewire, manufactured by Boston Scientific Corporation. Indeed, as part of its internal control process, Boston Scientific has observed that some PTFE parts of the proximal portion are peeling off the guide core at the risk of flaking off as loose particles. The most serious probable clinical consequence of this defect would be a stroke. The possible clinical consequences would be detectable at the time of the intervention. To date, Boston Scientific has not received any claims or adverse events related to this problem. Boston Scientific SAS has directly notified the recipients of the incriminated lots with the enclosed message (21/06/2010) (21 KB) validated by Afssaps. This information is addressed to the directors and correspondents of materiovigilance for diffusion if necessary to the services concerned. The relevant European Competent Authorities are informed of this measure by the manufacturer.

    “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.”
