Boston Scientific has recalled, at the urging of the FDA, surgically implanted drug delivery ports because of poor quality control issues. If you go to https://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/case/boston_scientific there is more information on this problem, some interesting articles, as well as what can be done about it. There is a free case evaluation provided for those who may have had issues with these devices. I thought this might be of interest and hope it may be of some help. kr0
