Boston Scientific recalls AMS 700 MS pumps with activation problems. Learn about affected models, why it matters, and what to do.
The recalling firm has observed an increase in complaints of problems encountered during the initial activation of the device in which the patient and/or the physician is unable or has difficulty activating the pump in order to achieve cylinder inflation.
Boston Scientific is recalling AMS 700 MS pumps that have issues activating the device during initial use. This could prevent patients or doctors from inflating the cylinder properly, which is critical for the device's function.
The pump may not activate correctly during first use, preventing proper cylinder inflation. This could lead to the device not functioning as intended, potentially causing complications for the patient.
Patients and physicians who own or use the AMS 700 MS pump with InhibiZone or pre-connected to AMS 700 cylinders are affected. Those who have recently activated the device may be at higher risk.
Check the product for the UPN/serial numbers listed on the recall page: 72404310 through 72404308, 72404230 through 72404239, and 72404250 through 72404258. The pumps are sold as individual units or pre-connected to AMS 700 cylinders.
Look for the UPN/serial number on the pump to see if it matches the list provided on Boston Scientific's recall lookup page.
