Navilyst NAMIC Convenience Kits Recalled Due to Sterility Concerns

Navilyst Medical is recalling 4 units of NAMIC Convenience Kits because expiration dating is not fully supported by testing, which may result in a sterility breach and increased infection risk.

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 risk-of-harm product (sterile medical device) where a sterility breach could lead to infection, but the source text does not report any actual illnesses or injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical risk.

Plain-English summary

Navilyst Medical, Inc. is recalling 4 units of NAMIC Convenience Kits (REF/Catalog No. 60020374, Device Listing Number D136588). The affected lots are 4364622 and 4376537. These sterile, prescription-only kits are intended for use in Fluid Management and/or Invasive Pressure Monitoring Systems.

The recall was initiated because the labeled expiration dating of the affected product is not fully supported by shelf life verification testing. This deficiency may result in a sterility breach. The use of a Fluid Management Convenience Kit where sterility has been breached may result in an increased risk of infection.

The affected products were distributed worldwide, including the United States, Canada, and Guam. Users should stop using the affected lots and contact Navilyst Medical, Inc. for further instructions.
