Boston Scientific is recalling Flexiva Pulse ID 242 TracTip single-use fibers because they may overheat and cause burns if touched. This risk occurs due to incorrect components leading to reduced power output and beam degradation.
The fibers were manufactured with incorrect components, causing lower power output and dimming of the aiming beam. This leads to overheating at the fiber connector, which can cause burns if touched during use.
Urological surgeons and medical professionals using the Flexiva Pulse ID 242 TracTip fibers for laser procedures are most at risk. Patients using these fibers for urological treatments could also be affected.
Check for lot numbers 30389516, 30389520, 30389525, 30429871, or 30479615 on the packaging. These fibers were sold between October 20, 2025, and November 3, 2025, with expiration dates up to 2025.
