Navilyst Medical Recalls NAMIC Convenience Kits Due to Sterility Concerns

Navilyst Medical is recalling 390 NAMIC Convenience Kits because expiration dating is not fully supported by shelf life testing, which may result in a sterility breach.

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

Plain-English summary

Navilyst Medical, Inc. is recalling 390 units of NAMIC Convenience Kits (REF/Catalog No. 60130834). 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.

The lack of full support for the expiration dating may result in a sterility breach. 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 lots immediately and contact Navilyst Medical for further instructions. The specific lot numbers affected are listed in the recall documentation.
