Arrow recalls AGB+ Multi-Lumen CVC Kits (CDC-45703-1A) due to potential allergic reactions in patients sensitive to chlorohexidine, silver sulfadiazine, or sulfa. Affected kits may have incorrect labeling.
The lidstock / information card on the kits correctly states the product code as CDC-45703-1A. The banner card on the side of the kit may incorrectly state the product code as CDC-15703-1A and not identify the product as a coated ARROWg+ard Blue PLUS (AGB+) antimicrobial catheter which may cause a minor delay during use and placement of a coated catheter in patients with known sensitivity to chlorohexidine, silver sulfadiazine or sulfa could result in an allergic reaction
