Boston Scientific Recalls Stretch VL Ureteral Stent Sets Due to Tracking Issues
Boston Scientific is recalling 57 units of Stretch VL Ureteral Stent Sets because they may be difficult to track over a guidewire, potentially delaying procedures.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text describes a procedural delay rather than a direct physical injury or hospitalization, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity issue involving low-risk operational complications.
