Navilyst Medical Recalls PICC Kits Due to Potential Sterility Compromise

Navilyst Medical is recalling specific PICC Convenience Kits because they contain BD syringes with open seals that may affect sterility.

What this means for you

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 potential loss of sterility in a medical device, which poses a risk of harm (infection) even though no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Navilyst Medical, Inc. is recalling specific lots of PICC Convenience Kits with Accessories. The recall is being conducted because the kits contain 10 ml BD PosiFlush SF Saline Flush Syringes that were subject to a separate recall by the manufacturer, BD.
