Navilyst Medical Recalls NAMIC Convenience Kits Due to Sterility Concerns

Navilyst Medical is recalling 69 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 is classified as FDA Class II and involves a risk of infection due to potential sterility breach, which fits the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Navilyst Medical, Inc. is recalling 69 units of NAMIC Convenience Kits, specifically the LEFT HEART KIT (REF/Catalog No. 60161793). These sterile, single-use devices are intended for use in Fluid Management and/or Invasive Pressure Monitoring Systems. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA.

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 affected units were distributed nationwide in the United States, as well as in Canada and Guam. Consumers and healthcare providers should check their inventory for the specific lot numbers listed in the recall notice and stop using any affected units. They should contact Navilyst Medical for further instructions on how to return or dispose of the product.
