Navilyst Medical Recalls BioFlo PICC Kits Due to Syringe Seal Issues

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a sterile medical device where a defect (open seals) may affect sterility, posing a risk of harm, but the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries.
