On Thursday, December 8, 2005, the major medical instrument manufacturer Boston Scientific announced it was working with the Food and Drug Administration to recall over 40,000 Flextome cutting Balloon Devices worldwide. This voluntary recall was because the angioplasty balloons could detach from the catheter as they are removed from the body.
Boston Scientific received eight complaints of the surgical balloons remaining in patients after an angioplasty, three of which needed subsequent surgeries. At this point Boston Scientific agreed to remove the Flextome cutting Balloon Device, which had already totaled more than $13 million in sales in 2005.
