Arrow recalls AGB+ Multi-Lumen CVC Kits with inconsistent labeling of spring wire guide size. This may cause confusion in medical use but does not pose a safety risk.
The products labeling contains inconsistencies. In certain instances, the lidstock, banner card and shipper label state that the Spring Wire Guide (SWG) within is .032 rather than the correct SWG size .025 . For other lots in scope the lidstock correctly states the SWG size .025 however the banner card states the incorrect SWG size .032 .
