The updated IFUs will be packaged with SpaceOAR and SpaceOAR Vue Systems after regulatory approvals are obtained for the IFU updates. \n\nThis Product Advisory contains the recommended IFU updates, located in Appendix 1, intended to: \n-Raise awareness of embolism as an existing adverse event. \n-Add new Warnings and Precautions that describe technique recommendations for the\nplacement of SpaceOAR and SpaceOAR Vue to reduce the unintentional placement of hydrogel. \n- Add procedural instructions to reduce the unintentional placement of hydrogel in a blood vessel and steps to verify placement of the hydrogel following implantation. \n\nNO product is being recalled and you are NOT required to return product to Boston Scientific. As per the IFU, SpaceOAR and SpaceOAR Vue System procedures should only be performed by physicians who have received appropriate training for proper hydrogel spacer deployment technique. \n\nThe Acknowledgement Form must be completed and returned even if you do not have any affected units.
