  • Descripción del producto
    Flextome Cutting Balloon Device Over-the-Wire Delivery System, Coronary Atherotomy System, Over-the-Wire Delivery System, Catalog No. CB0340006, 4.00mm, Sterile. Made in Ireland: Interventional Technologies Europe Ltd., A subsidiary of Boston Scientific Letterkenny, County Donegal, Republic of Ireland. US Customer Service 888-272-1001. || The Flextome Cutting Balloon Device consists of a balloon with 3 or 4 atherotomes (microsurgical blades) mounted longitudinally on its outer surface. When the Flextome Cutting Balloon Device is inflated, the atherotomes score the plaque, creating initiation sites for crack propagation. This process, referred to as Atherotomy, allows dilation of the target lesion with less pressure. || Indicated for dilatation of stenoses in coronary arteries for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion in those circumstances where a high pressure balloon resistant lesion is encountered.

  • 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.”
