Navilyst NAMIC Convenience Kit Recalled Due to Sterility Concerns

Navilyst Medical is recalling 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, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Navilyst Medical, Inc. is recalling NAMIC Convenience Kits (REF/Catalog No. 60190423, Lot 4802267). 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 labelled 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 units were distributed worldwide, including the US Nationwide, Canada, and Guam.

Healthcare providers and facilities should stop using the affected lots immediately and contact Navilyst Medical for further instructions on return or disposal.
