Navilyst Medical Recalls NAMIC Convenience Kits Due to Sterility Concerns

Navilyst Medical is recalling 489 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 infection from a potential sterility breach in a medical device, which fits the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Navilyst Medical, Inc. is recalling 489 units of the NAMIC Convenience Kit, LEFT HEART KIT (REF/Catalog No. 60040706). These sterile, single-use devices are intended for use in Fluid Management and/or Invasive Pressure Monitoring Systems. The affected lots were distributed nationwide in the United States, as well as in Canada and Guam.

The recall was initiated because the labeled expiration dating of the affected product is not fully supported by shelf life verification testing. This lack of support 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.

Healthcare providers and facilities should stop using the affected lots immediately and contact Navilyst Medical for further instructions. The specific lot numbers affected are listed in the agency's recall record.
