Arrow recalls specific hemodialysis kits due to potential contamination of lidocaine, bupivacaine, and saline. If sterility is compromised, serious or life-threatening injuries may occur. Affected kits have unique batch codes.
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.
