What this means for you

Plain-English summary
Angiodynamics Inc. (Navilyst Medical Inc.) is recalling Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICC) and associated Maximal Barrier Nursing Kits. The recall involves 50 cartons of the product, which were distributed nationwide to California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio, and Texas.
The recall is due to a labeling discrepancy regarding the stylet included with the catheter. The product label states that the stylet has an outside diameter (OD) of 0.014, but the product may actually contain a stylet with an OD of 0.016. This potential for stylet stiffening is not accurately represented on the current labeling.
Healthcare facilities and consumers who have these specific PICC catheters should stop using them and contact the manufacturer for instructions on return or replacement. The affected lot number is 4945781.
