AngioDynamics Recalls NAMIC Convenience Kits Due to Needle Lumen Defect

AngioDynamics is recalling 136 NAMIC Convenience Kits because the needle inner lumen is too small to accept the intended 0.038-inch guidewire.

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 is classified as FDA Class II and involves a medical device defect that prevents the intended use of the product (inability to accept a guidewire), representing a risk of harm where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

AngioDynamics Inc. is recalling 136 units of the NAMIC Convenience Kit Self Regional Healthcare PV Leg Pack, Catalog No. 651919311. The affected products include Batch/Lot No. 4921353 (Use By 2018-05) and Batch/Lot No. 4932710 (Use By 2018-06-30). These kits were distributed nationwide in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, South Carolina, and Texas.

The recall was initiated because the inner lumen of the needles in the affected lots does not meet the intended specification. Specifically, at least a portion of the affected lot is unable to accept a 0.038-inch guidewire as intended. In some cases, the inner lumen was found to be 0.036 inches, which is smaller than the required size.

Healthcare facilities and distributors should stop using the affected products and contact AngioDynamics Inc. for instructions on return or replacement. The FDA has classified this recall as Class II, indicating that use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
