Letter states reason for recall (Product Removal), health risk and action to take: Use and distribution of any remaining unused ORISE Gel Submucosal Lifting Agent products affected by this removal should cease immediately. For patients already treated with ORISE Gel, should the user identify submucosal distortions or mass formations in follow-up endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, imaging, or surgery, Boston Scientific recommends taking into account prior ORISE Gel use. Review pathology reports from the prior procedure to help determine the most appropriate course of action. Depending on the pathology present during the initial use of ORISE Gel, and whether it included conditions such as adenoma, high-grade dysplasia, or malignancy, a user may need to do nothing, repeat surveillance, repeat a biopsy, perform further mucosal resection, or plan surgical intervention to rule out any residual lesion. For each patient treated with ORISE Gel, Boston Scientific recommends appending their medical record with a copy of this letter to maintain awareness of this topic.
