Why it was recalled

Stop using this product now

Boston Scientific has identified a tooling error in manufacturing which may have caused delamination of the inner lumen of the sheath shaft in a subset of POLARSHEATH devices. This could result in the embolization of a fragment during use (such as flushing of the sheath or introduction of the dilator or ablation catheter).

Using this product could cause serious injury, illness or death — stop using it now.
