The expiration date on the device labeling exceeds its actual validated shelf life because the sterilization process used does not have adequate support for the extended shelf life.
Boston Scientific is recalling certain Wallstent RP stents because the expiration date on their labels is longer than the actual shelf life they can safely last. This means the stents might not be safe for use after the labeled expiration date.
The stents have an expiration date that exceeds their actual shelf life due to the sterilization process not supporting extended storage. This could mean the stents become unsafe to use after the labeled expiration date.
Patients who received the recalled stents during procedures between 2020 and 2022 are likely affected. Medical professionals using these specific stents for tracheobronchial procedures are at risk.
Check for the product code 71139-R and lot numbers 17752073 or 17422520. The stents are 10MM X 94MM | 135CM and were resterilized.
