Boston Scientific Issues a Voluntary and Urgent Field Safety Notice for Select Lotus Valves

Boston Scientific (NYSE:BSX) this week issued a voluntary field safety corrective action for its Lotus Valve Systems, looking to recall units from the field over issues with release mandrel breakage.

The company is looking to “remove units from the field” that were manufactured prior to a component related change made in March this year, and specified that units manufactured after the change was implemented are not affected.

The release mandrel is a delivery system component connected to the release pin which allows the valve to release from the delivery system.
