Arrow is recalling certain VectorFlow hemodialysis catheters because a sheath introducer may not split as intended. This could lead to longer procedures, pain, bleeding, or tissue injury during dialysis treatments.
The sheath introducer in the catheter may not split properly during use. This can cause increased resistance when withdrawing fluid, longer procedure times, pain, bleeding, and potential injury to blood vessels or surrounding tissues.

Check the product code on the catheter packaging or label. Affected models include ACS-15192-VFI, ACS-15232-VFI, ACS-15272-VFI, and other codes listed in the recall notice. The recall covers specific batch numbers and lot codes.
