Boston Scientific POLARSHEATH Steerable Sheath 12F, REF M004CRBS3050

Why was Boston Scientific POLARSHEATH Steerable Sheath 12F recalled?

Boston Scientific has identified a tooling error in manufacturing which may have caused delamination of the inner lumen of the sheath shaft in a subset of POLARSHEATH devices.
