Boston Scientific has recalled (Class 1) its Imager II 5F Angiographic Catheters because there is a potential for the catheter tip to become detached during a patient procedure or during procedure preparation. The device is used to provide a pathway to deliver contrast agents to blood vessels including carotid arteries. “Use of the affected product may lead to additional surgical intervention to remove the catheter tip in the patient’s blood vessel and increased time in the hospital,” a [recall notice](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls/boston-scientific-corporation-recalls-imager-ii-angiographic-catheters-due-tip-detachment?ref=fdaweb.com) says. A detached tip could also lead to serious adverse events including obstruction of blood flow (embolism), stroke, or death. The company says there have been nine reported injuries.
