AngioDynamics Recalls NAMIC Convenience Kits Due to Needle Lumen Defect

AngioDynamics is recalling 8 NAMIC Convenience Kits because the needle inner lumen is too small to accept the intended guidewire.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 that prevents the intended use of the product (inability to accept the guidewire), representing a risk of harm where injury has not yet been reported, consistent with the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

AngioDynamics Inc. is recalling 8 units of the NAMIC Convenience Kit Holyoke Hospital Special Procedure Kit (Catalog No. 60080094, UPN Product No. H749600800941). The affected units are from Batch/Lot 4925662 with a Use By date of 2017-02. 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 lot 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 found to be 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 facilities and consumers who have these specific kits should stop using them and contact AngioDynamics Inc. for further instructions on return or replacement.
