CRE Wireguided Device Recall Due to Potential Sterile Packaging Breach
Boston Scientific Corporation is recalling CRE Wireguided 12-15mm 240cm devices due to a potential sterile breach in the pouches containing the devices. The breach could compromise device sterility.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is a potential sterile breach—a precautionary concern rather than confirmed contamination. This meets the rubric criterion for a moderate-severity voluntary precautionary recall.
