Neuro Vascular Medical Kit Recalled for Sterilization Assurance Failure

American Contract Systems recalls the Neuro Vascular ANKV91A medical convenience kit due to inability to confirm sterilization. Affected units were distributed across MO, MN, MA, OH, and NE.

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: FDA Class II device with inability to verify sterilization assurance. No illnesses or injuries reported; the hazard is theoretical rather than confirmed. However, a vascular medical device without confirmed sterilization presents a significant infection risk.

Plain-English summary

American Contract Systems, Inc. is recalling the Neuro Vascular ANKV91A medical convenience kit, manufactured as a single unit. The company identified that a chart recorder in one of its controlled environment areas became inoperable, preventing proper monitoring of humidity levels during the manufacturing process.

Because the humidity readings were out-of-specification and the monitoring equipment failed, American Contract Systems cannot confirm that the product meets sterilization assurance requirements. This means the company cannot verify that the device was properly sterilized as required for safe use.

The affected product is identified by UDI-DI 00191072201232, Lot 2405102, with an expiration date of May 10, 2025. The recall affects units distributed across MO, MN, MA, OH, and NE. Consumers or healthcare providers who have this device should contact American Contract Systems for instructions on returns or replacements.
