Baylis Medical Recalls NRG RF Transseptal Kits Due to Packaging Defect

Baylis Medical is recalling NRG RF Transseptal Kits because sterile packaging may be compromised during shipping, posing a remote risk of infection.

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 risk-of-harm product (infection risk) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Baylis Medical Company Inc. is recalling the NRG RF Transseptal Kit, including specific model numbers such as NTK-710-8545 and NTK-711-8555. The recall involves a total of 59,067 units, which includes both individual units and those sold in kits. The product was distributed throughout the 50 states and in Washington D.C.

The recall is being conducted because there is a remote potential for the sterile packaging of the transseptal guiding sheath to be compromised during shipping and handling. If a packaging defect is not identified and the product is used in a patient, there is a remote risk of infection.

Healthcare providers and facilities should stop using the affected kits and contact Baylis Medical for instructions on returning the product. Consumers are not directly affected as this is a medical device used in clinical settings.
