Teleflex Medical recalls Arrow EZ-IO Intraosseous Vascular Access System 45mm Needle+Stabilizer Kit (Product Code 9079P-VC-005) due to safety cap dislodging, risking needle stick injuries and packaging contamination.
The safety cap attached to needles within the needle sets may become dislodged exposing the needle and potentially causing the needle to protrude through the packaging. If this issue is not detected, the immediate risk of exposure to the affected devices is needle stick injury to the clinician or health care professional. In addition, a puncture of the packaging may compromise the sterility of the needle.
