Navilyst NAMIC Convenience Kits Recalled for Potential Sterility Breach

Navilyst Medical is recalling 161 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 no specific injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Navilyst Medical, Inc. is recalling 161 units of NAMIC Convenience Kits (REF/Catalog No. 600521613). These sterile, single-use devices are intended for use in Fluid Management and/or Invasive Pressure Monitoring Systems. The recall is due to the fact that the labeled expiration dating of the affected product is not fully supported by shelf life verification testing.

This lack of testing 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. The affected lots were distributed worldwide, including the US nationwide, Canada, and Guam.

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.
