Product Description
The JETSTREAM is a rotational atherectomy catheter system designed for use in debulking and treating vascular disease in the peripheral vasculature. The System includes multiple distal ports located at the catheter tip, which are designed to provide independent infusion and aspiration functions for the active removal of fluid, excised tissue and thrombus from the peripheral treatment site.
Reason for Recall
Boston Scientific is initiating a voluntary removal of two lots of JETSTREAM SC 1.85mm and one lot of JETSTREAM XC 2.1mm Atherectomy Catheters due to these units being mislabeled. Some 1.85mm JETSTREAM SC catheters may have been labeled as 2.1mm catheters, and some 2.1mm JETSTREAM XC catheters may have been labeled as 1.85mm catheters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Contact your healthcare provider and the device manufacturer immediately. Check whether your specific model number and lot number are included in the recall scope. For external devices, stop using the affected product and arrange a replacement. For implanted devices, do not panic — removal is typically not required unless the risk assessment clearly indicates it. Your physician will guide you based on your individual clinical situation and the FDA's recommended actions. Report any adverse effects you may have experienced to FDA MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Class I recalls indicate a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death from the defect. Class II recalls involve products that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where serious consequences are remote. Class III recalls cover products not likely to cause any adverse health consequences, typically involving technical regulatory violations. The classification guides urgency — Class I recalls require immediate action, while Class III may simply involve returning a product or acknowledging a labeling change. Always read the specific recall notice for recommended patient actions.
Report problems with medical devices to the FDA through MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088 or online at FDA.gov/safety/medwatch. Healthcare facilities are required by law to report device-related serious injuries and deaths. Patients and consumers can also report voluntarily. Include the device name, manufacturer, model number, and a description of the problem and any patient outcome. Reports from patients and clinicians help the FDA identify emerging safety signals and may trigger investigations that lead to recalls of dangerous devices.
What Should You Do?
Stop using this device if you are affected by this recall. Contact your healthcare provider and the manufacturer immediately for guidance. Report adverse events to FDA MedWatch.
