Arrow recalls EPIDURAL CATHETERIZATION KIT (Product Code JC-05400-LB) due to potential dural puncture from LOR syringes. Affected lots include 71F19B2180 through 71F19K1691. Contact Arrow for details.
There is the potential for various failures with the LOR (loss of resistance) syringes included in the kits resulting in dural puncture with some also requiring a blood patch.
Arrow is recalling EPIDURAL CATHETERIZATION KITS with Product Code JC-05400-LB because the LOR syringes in some kits can cause dural puncture, requiring a blood patch. This risk affects medical procedures and may lead to serious complications if not addressed.
The LOR syringes in the kits can fail, causing dural puncture (a tear in the protective membrane around the spinal cord). This may require a blood patch to seal the leak, which can lead to serious complications like infection or nerve damage.
Healthcare professionals using the recalled EPIDURAL CATHETERIZATION KITS for medical procedures are most at risk. Patients undergoing epidural anesthesia may also be affected if the kit is used incorrectly.
Check for Product Code JC-05400-LB on the kit. Affected lots include 71F19B2180, 71F19E1142, 71F19F1082, 71F19H2578, 71F19E0149, 71F19F1081, 71F19G2551, and 71F19K1691.
