Boston Scientific Recalls Stretch VL Ureteral Stent Sets Due to Tracking Issues
Boston Scientific is recalling 40 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 explicitly states no illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is limited to procedural delay rather than direct physical harm, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
Plain-English summary

These medical devices were distributed nationwide and in foreign regions including Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Americas, Asia Pacific, and Japan.
The recall was initiated due to an increased rate of complaints regarding difficulty or inability to track the device over a guidewire.
