Navilyst NAMIC Convenience Kits Recalled for Sterility Concerns

Navilyst Medical is recalling 454 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 is classified as FDA Class II and involves a risk of infection due to potential sterility breach, which fits the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Navilyst Medical, Inc. is recalling 454 units of NAMIC Convenience Kits, specifically the LEFT HEART KIT (REF/Catalog No. 600500113). These sterile, single-use devices are intended for use in Fluid Management and/or Invasive Pressure Monitoring Systems. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA.

The recall was initiated because the labeled expiration dating of the affected products 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 lots were distributed worldwide, including the United States, Canada, and Guam. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the affected products and contact Navilyst Medical for further instructions.
