AngioDynamics BioFlo Port Recall Due to Incorrect Sterile Assembly

AngioDynamics is recalling BioFlo Ports that were partially manufactured with the wrong sterile port assembly. The devices were distributed in Indiana.

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 involves a manufacturing error where the wrong sterile assembly was used, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or specific health hazards, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall.

Plain-English summary

AngioDynamics Inc. (Navilyst Medical Inc.) is recalling BioFlo Ports with ENDEXO and PASV Technology (Catalog Number: 44-021, Lot Number: 5363172). The recall was initiated because the devices were partially manufactured with the incorrect sterile port assembly.

The recall covers units distributed in Indiana. The source text does not specify the number of units affected or report any illnesses or injuries associated with the incorrect assembly.
