Reason
Boston Scientific has discovered an inconsistent "use by" expiration date on a single lot/batch of Alair bronchial thermoplasty catheters. The expiration date is listed in two locations on the packaging of the product,the outer box label and the inner tray label. The expiration date on the outer box label, 2014-04, is correct.
