What changed
Aligned Medical Solutions issued an urgent recall notification for convenience kits containing Medline Namic Angiographic Control Syringes with Rotating Adaptor (RA Syringes), after Medline identified 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. The failure may introduce air into the line, causing air embolism, and presents potential for biohazard exposure, blood loss, and infection. Four serious injuries have been reported as of March 13, 2026. Affected parties must identify and quarantine affected product, apply over-labels with warning language provided by the firm, and remove and destroy the affected Namic RA Syringes. If use is unavoidable to prevent patient harm, the syringe must be used with extreme caution including manual stabilization and continuous monitoring throughout the procedure.
What to do next
- Identify, segregate, and quarantine all affected product.
- Add warning labels to all affected kits stating that the affected syringes must be removed and discarded from further use.
- Per Medline, due to the risk of serious injury or death, customers are directed to remove and destroy all Namic RA Syringes.

Reason for Alert
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.
