Navilyst Medical Recalls NAMIC Convenience Kits Due to Sterility Concerns

Navilyst Medical is recalling 11 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 (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 11 units of the NAMIC Convenience Kit, HOPKINS LEFT HEART (REF/Catalog No. 60183662).

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.
