Arrow recalls multiple arterial catheter and vein access kits due to potential contamination in lidocaine, bupivacaine, and saline solutions. Affected kits may cause serious injury if sterility is compromised.
Lidocaine, Bupivacaine, and 0.9% sodium chloride, the subject of a supplier recall, were included into kits and sets. The supplier was found to have quality issues and limited reports of drug ineffectiveness, and if sterility of a water-based injectable product is compromised this could lead to serious or life-threatening injuries.
