Recall Insight

This FDA Devices action (record #Z-0392-2016) was formally reported on December 30, 2015, with the manufacturer initiating the action on November 19, 2015. It is classified under Critical severity (Class I), with a current status of Terminated. Boston Scientific Corporation is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Maple Grove, MN. Federal records indicate 7985 units are affected.

The documented reason for this recall is: Boston Scientific is voluntarily recalling its Chariot" Guiding Sheath. To date, Boston Scientific has received fourteen complaints for shaft separation, four for distal shaft separation. The most severe outcome of thi… Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: Worldwide Distribution - US (nationwide) including DC and Puerto Rico, and in the states of AK, AL, AR. AZ, CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, NC, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK,…. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.

To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 6 were also issued by FDA Devices. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 11 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.

The guiding sheath has a coiled shaft design and comes with a straight or preformed multipurpose tip shape. It is equipped with a cross-cut hemostatic valve or Tuohy-Borst adapter to prevent bleeding and a sidearm with a three-way stopcock to allow for flushing and introduction of contrast medium. It is packaged with a dilator to facilitate delivery over a guidewire. The guiding sheath can accommodate guidewires with diameters less than or equal to 0.038 in (0.97 mm). The outer surface of the guiding sheath has a hydrophilic coating from the distal tip to approximately 9 cm from the hub. The distal tip has a radiopaque marker band approximately 6 mm from the distal edge, to help with guiding sheath placement.

Reason for Recall

Boston Scientific is voluntarily recalling its Chariot" Guiding Sheath. To date, Boston Scientific has received fourteen complaints for shaft separation, four for distal shaft separation. The most severe outcome of this failure is embolism of device fragments.
