Boston Scientific Coyote OVER-THE-WIRE PTA Balloon Dilation Catheter, 4F,
Boston Scientific is initiating the removal of certain batches of Coyote" Over-the-Wire (OTW) Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) Balloon Dilatation Catheter devices due to the potential for inflation/deflation difficulty during use in the peripheral vasculature. An internal investigation found that a manufacturing process variation resulted in catheters that may not properly inflate/deflate. This was limited to Coyote OTW batches manufactured from 12Sep2025 through 13Oct2025. The processing variation has since been addressed. No other material numbers or batches are impacted by this removal.

The firm has received six (6) complaint reports from customers indicating difficulty removing the balloon protector sleeve from the catheter (e.g., excessive force required to remove the protector sleeve). If the balloon is damaged while removing the protector sleeve and the catheter is subsequently used in a patient procedure, patient harm may potentially occur, including perforation of vessels, foreign body in patient, embolism, risks associated with surgical intervention, or delay to treatment/therapy.

ev3, PowerCross .018 OTW PTA Dilatation Catheter, Sterile EO.
Medtronic identified an issue with specific models and lots of the PowerCross .018 Over the Wire (OTW) Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) Dilatation Catheter. During an unrelated manufacturing inspection of scrapped products, an out of specification condition was observed. The catheter outer shafts were pinched and deformed at the proximal balloon bond. Bench testing of affected devices showed that this resulted in either the inability to inflate the device, a slow deflation, or the inability to deflate the device post expansion.
