Navilyst Medical Recalls NAMIC Convenience Kits Due to Sterility Concerns

Navilyst Medical is recalling 17 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 17 units of NAMIC Convenience Kits, specifically the LEFT HEART KIT (Catalog No. 60220746). The affected lots are 4692107 and 4757752. These sterile, single-use 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. 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 nationwide in the United States, as well as in Canada and Guam. Healthcare providers and facilities should stop using the affected lots and contact Navilyst Medical for further instructions.
