Navilyst Medical Recalls NAMIC Convenience Kits Due to Sterility Concerns

Navilyst Medical is recalling 238 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 238 units of NAMIC Convenience Kits (REF/Catalog No. 60200145, UPN H749602001451). These sterile, single-use kits are intended for use in Fluid Management and/or Invasive Pressure Monitoring Systems. The recall involves specific lots: 4693027, 4693271, 4693804, 4701037, 4705269, 4728884, 4733063, 4750828, 4764547, 4770885, 4779423, 4816850, 4822738, and 4829934.

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 products were distributed worldwide, including US Nationwide, Canada, and Guam. Healthcare facilities and users should stop using the affected lots and contact Navilyst Medical for further instructions.
