US Customer Service 888-272-1001. \n\nThe Flextome Cutting Balloon Device consists of a balloon with 3 or 4 atherotomes (microsurgical blades) mounted longitudinally on its outer surface. When the Flextome Cutting Balloon Device is inflated, the atherotomes score the plaque, creating initiation sites for crack propagation. This process, referred to as Atherotomy, allows dilation of the target lesion with less pressure. \n\nIndicated for dilatation of stenoses in coronary arteries for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion in those circumstances where a high pressure balloon resistant lesion is encountered.", "code_info": "Batch/Lot # EG5577", "firm_fei_number": "3002095335", "recalling_firm": "Boston Scientific Corporation", "address_1": "1 Scimed Pl", "city": "Maple Grove", "state": "MN", "postal_code": "55311-1565", "additional_info_contact": "763-494-1700", "reason_for_recall": "For one batch/lot of flextome Cutting Balloon (OTW), an incorrect compliance chart was packaged inside the sterile pouch.
