FDA alerts AVID Medical users to correct convenience kits containing recalled sodium chloride ampules

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health has posted an Early Alert warning that certain AVID Medical convenience kits may contain sodium chloride ampules recalled by Huons Co.

AVID Medical has sent a letter to affected customers advising them to correct the kits before further use by removing the recalled components. The notice lists several kit models and lot numbers, including continuous nerve block trays, single shot epidural trays, basic biopsy trays, and universal imaging biopsy trays.

The FDA will continue to monitor the situation and update the alert page as new information becomes available. Users are instructed not to use the sodium chloride ampules until the kits have been corrected.

The alert does not indicate any reported injuries, but it highlights a potential high-risk device issue that manufacturers and clinicians should address promptly.
