Arrow recalls specific drainage and thoracentesis kits due to potential contamination of 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.
Arrow is recalling several medical drainage and thoracentesis kits because the drugs inside (lidocaine, bupivacaine, and saline) may have been contaminated, risking serious or life-threatening injuries if the sterility is compromised. This affects specific model numbers and batch codes listed in the recall.
The supplier of the drugs in these kits had quality issues, which could lead to contamination. If the sterility of the water-based injectable drugs is compromised, it might cause serious or life-threatening injuries during medical procedures.
Medical professionals who use these kits for drainage procedures and patients undergoing thoracentesis or pneumothorax treatments are most at risk. The recall applies to specific model numbers and batch codes.
Check the product model numbers (e.g., DRAINAGE KIT/AK-01600) and batch codes (e.g., 50801902120156) listed in the recall notice. The affected kits include specific drainage and thoracentesis kits with the model numbers and batch codes provided.
Identify the model number and batch code on the kit to confirm if it is affected by this recall.
The supplier of the drugs in these kits had quality issues, which could lead to contamination. If the sterility of the water-based injectable drugs is compromised, it might cause serious or life-threatening injuries during medical procedures.
