Plain-English summary

Imactis is recalling 105 units of the NaviKit-stereotaxic accessory for Computed Tomography systems (Reference # I10100). The recall affects lots 20060001 and 20060005, with UDI-DI B681I101002. The product was distributed in New Jersey, New York, and Wisconsin.

The recall is due to a defect in the mechanical assembly of the needle holder contained in the navigation kit. Specifically, one of the two jaws of the needle holder does not provide gripping functionality. If this defect is not detected before use, it can cause poor needle guidance and a lack of precision during navigation. This may result in an inaccurate needle position, which could cause damage to organs or vasculature adjacent to the needle trajectory.

Healthcare facilities and users should stop using the affected NaviKit-stereotaxic accessories immediately. Imactis is the recalling firm responsible for managing the recall. Users should contact Imactis for instructions on how to return or dispose of the affected units.
