Action Taken
On 01/21/2021, Boston Scientific issued Urgent Medical Device Product Removal notices to customers via e-mail. The removal notice is due to an incomplete seal of the inner pouch which could result in a sterile barrier breach rendering the specified lots of polypectomy snare devices non-sterile.
