Navilyst Medical Recalls NAMIC Convenience Kits Due to Sterility Concerns

Navilyst Medical is recalling 10 NAMIC Convenience Kits because expiration dating is not fully supported by testing, which may result in a sterility breach and increased risk of infection.

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) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Navilyst Medical, Inc. is recalling 10 units of NAMIC Convenience Kits, ANGIO KIT, REF/Catalog No. 60131996. The affected lots are 4426279, 4500022, 4519371, 4637654, and 4651033. These sterile, prescription-only 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 lack of support 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 products were distributed worldwide, including the United States, Canada, and Guam. Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using the affected lots and contact Navilyst Medical for further instructions.
