Summary: Boston Scientific Corporation is recalling Boston Scientific Coyote OVER-THE-WIRE PTA Balloon Dilation Catheter, 4F, 1) 2.5mm x120mm, 150 cm, UPM/Model No. REF H74939186251210; 2) 3.5mm x120mm, 150 cm, UPM/Model No. REF H74939186351210; Catheter, Angioplasty, Peripheral, Transluminal. Reason: Boston Scientific is initiating the removal of certain batches of Coyote" Over-the-Wire (OTW) Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) Balloon Dilatation Catheter devices due to the potential for inflation/deflation difficulty during use in the peripheral vasculature. An internal investigation found that a manufacturing process variation resulted in catheters that may not properly inflate/deflate. This was limited to Coyote OTW batches manufactured from 12Sep2025 through 13Oct2025. The processing variation has since been addressed. No other material numbers or batches are impacted by this removal.
