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 (infection risk from sterility breach) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Navilyst Medical, Inc. is recalling 5 units of NAMIC Convenience Kits, specifically the LEFT HEART KIT (UPN H749601113111, REF/Catalog No. 60111311). The affected lots are 4426312, 4708385, and 4799474. These sterile, single-use devices are intended for use in Fluid Management and/or Invasive Pressure Monitoring Systems.

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.

The product was distributed worldwide, including the United States, Canada, and Guam. Healthcare providers and facilities should stop using the affected lots and contact Navilyst Medical for further instructions.
