Navilyst NAMIC Convenience Kit Recall Due to Sterility Risk

Navilyst Medical is recalling 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 injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for potential infection risk without confirmed cases.

Plain-English summary

Navilyst Medical, Inc. is recalling 2,409 units of NAMIC Convenience Kits, LEFT HEART, REF/Catalog No. 600604412. 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 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 further instructions. Consumers should not use these products if they have them in their possession.
