- Use the labeling template provided by Aligned Medical Solutions to print labels. This label should be applied in a prominently visible location to end-users. The location chosen should not cover any other critical product information found on existing product labeling.
- If you are a distributor or have resold or transferred this product, notify them of this recall communication.
- Per Medline, due to the risk of serious injury or death, customers are directed to remove and destroy all Namic RA Syringes. If use is unavoidable because failure to proceed would result in patient harm, the Namic RA syringe must be used with extreme caution and vigilance, including manual stabilization of syringe-to-manifold connections and continuous, 100% monitoring during setup and throughout the entire procedure.
- All usage guidelines and the Instructions for Use are provided in Medline’s recall letter. Strict adherence to all usage guidelines and the Instructions for Use are required.
Reason for Recall
Aligned Medical Solutions initiated an urgent Medical Device Recall notification for convenience kits that contain syringes affected by Medline’s Namic Angiographic Control Syringes with Rotating Adaptor (“Namic RA Syringes”) recall.
Medline Industries stated that the syringe rotating adaptor on affected devices may unwind during use, resulting in a loose connection or full disconnection between the syringe and manifold. If unwinding occurs, there is potential for biohazard exposure, blood loss, and infection. Loose connections or disconnections may introduce air into the line, which could result in air embolism. These conditions may lead to serious injury or death. All units have the potential to exhibit this failure mode.
As of March 13, Medline Industries has reported four serious injuries and no deaths associated with this issue.
Device Use
Convenience kits contain various surgical instruments, dressings and/or other materials, and pharmaceutical components that are intended to be used during various surgical procedures.
