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 7 units of NAMIC Convenience Kits, 3V WMMII KIT (REF/Catalog No. 60185252). The affected lots are 4715969 and 4735572. These sterile, single-use kits are intended for use in Fluid Management and/or Invasive Pressure Monitoring Systems and are distributed in the US, Canada, and Guam.

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.

Healthcare providers and facilities should stop using the affected lots immediately. Consumers and patients should contact their healthcare provider if they have used these products.
