Navilyst Medical Recalls NAMIC Convenience Kits Due to Sterility Concerns

Navilyst Medical is recalling 927 NAMIC Convenience Kits because expiration dating is not fully supported by testing, which may result in 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 the hazard is an increased risk of infection due to potential sterility breach, but no specific injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Navilyst Medical, Inc. is recalling 927 units of the NAMIC Convenience Kit, 3 VALVE MANIFOLD KIT (Catalog No. 60041161). These sterile, single-use devices are intended for use in Fluid Management and/or Invasive Pressure Monitoring Systems. The recall covers specific lots distributed nationwide in the US, 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 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.

Healthcare providers and facilities should stop using the affected lots immediately and contact Navilyst Medical for instructions on return or disposal. Consumers should not use these products if they have them in their possession.
