This recall involves correcting certain devices, and does not involve removing them from where they are used or sold. The FDA has identified this recall as the most serious type. This device may cause serious injury or death if you continue to use it without correction

Affected Product

The FDA is aware that Medical Action Industries has issued a letter to affected customers recommending certain Convenience Kits be corrected by removing Namic Manifolds affected by the Medline Manifold Recall prior to continued use.

Affected devices:

• Kit: Pack Angiography NCMC 3/Cs BANNER
  • UDI 20809160490416
  • Lot 342513
  • Lot 336758
  • Lot 338977

What to Do

Remove and destroy Namic Manifolds in affected kits. Apply over-labels to all affected kits on hand stating that the affected manifolds must be removed and discarded from further use.

On May 13, Medical Action Industries sent all affected customers a letter recommending the following actions:

• Immediately check your stock for any affected product and quarantine. Destroy affected product after completing recall response forms. Other components within the convenience kits may still be used.
• Apply provided over-labels to any affected kits on hand stating that the affected manifolds must be removed and discarded from further use.
• If you are a distributor or have resold or transferred this product, notify them of this recall communication.
• If use is unavoidable because failure to proceed would result in patient harm, the Manifolds must be used with extreme caution and vigilance. In such cases:
  • The user should perform a full flush of the Manifold and associated tubing with saline.
  • Carefully examine the manifold and lines for any particulate.
  • Do not use the Manifold and lines if any particulate is observed.
  • Users should otherwise adhere to all usage guidelines and the Manifolds’ Instructions for Use.

Reason for Correction

Medical Action Industries initiated an urgent Medical Device Recall notification for Convenience Kits that contain Medline’s Namic Angiographic Star Off Handle Manifolds.

Medline identified the presence of particulate within the fluid path of the Manifolds. Particulate within the Manifold fluid path has the potential to be introduced into blood circulation and become lodged within blood vessels. This carries a risk of serious injury, such as tissue or organ ischemia, or death.

As of May 13, Medical Action Industries has reported no serious injuries or deaths associated with this issue.

Device Use

The Namic Manifold is intended to be used for fluid management, contrast media and pressure monitoring.
