AngioDynamics Recalls Renown Regional Medical Center Convenience Kits

AngioDynamics is recalling 100 Renown Regional Medical Center Convenience Kits because the needle inner lumen is too small to accept the intended 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 involves a medical device defect where the product fails to perform its intended function (accepting the guidewire), creating a risk of harm during a procedure, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

AngioDynamics Inc. is recalling 100 units of the NAMIC CONVENIENCE KIT RENOWN REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER (Catalog No. 65230029). The affected products are identified by Batch/Lot Nos. 4925152 and 4930012, with a Use By date of 2018-08. The 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, with some inner lumens measuring 0.036 inches. This needle is intended to be placed over the guidewire to enlarge the opening in the vessel before sliding the catheter over the guidewire.

Healthcare providers and facilities that have received these products should stop using them and contact AngioDynamics Inc. for further instructions on the recall.
