NeuroBalloon catheters recalled worldwide
NeuroBalloon catheters have been recalled worldwide because of complaints about the device failing to inflate or deflate properly, according to a company press release published on the US Food and Drug Administration 's Web site.
Boston Scientific Corp. has recalled more than 100,000 heart catheters because the catheter tip can break inside of the patient causing tissue and blood vessel injury, heart attack or other serious events requiring additional unplanned surgery.
