Our severity reasoning: This Class II recall involves a concrete functional defect where the proximal stent end fails to expand properly upon deployment and may remain connected to the delivery system. While no hospitalizations or injuries are reported in the source text, the failure to deploy properly creates a documented risk of harm to patients by preventing effective vascular treatment.
