ARROW recalls multiple arterial catheter kits due to potential contamination in lidocaine, bupivacaine, and saline solutions, which could cause serious or life-threatening injuries 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.
