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.

Plain-English summary
AngioDynamics Inc. is recalling 45 units of the NAMIC Convenience Kit Mercy General Hospital Neuro Kit (Catalog No. 601319810, UPN Product No. H7496013198101). The recall was initiated because the inner lumen of the needles in the affected lots did not meet the intended specification.

The affected products are identified by Batch/Lot Nos. 4931728 and 4933094, with a Use By date of 2017-03. These kits were distributed nationwide in the states of California, Illinois, Massachusetts, South Carolina, and Texas.

Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using these specific kits and contact AngioDynamics Inc. for further instructions or a return.
