Arrow recalls 5.5 Fr x 4:00 cm double-lumen PICC kits that may contain the wrong catheter size, potentially delaying treatment. Affected kits have Product Code CDC-44052-VPS2 or serial numbers 23F17K0753, 23F17L0299.
The products may contain the incorrect catheter. Kits that should contain a 4.5 Fr single-lumen catheter may contain a 5.5 Fr double-lumen catheter. Kits that should contain a 5.5 Fr double-lumen catheter may contain a 4.5 Fr single-lumen catheter. This issue may cause a delay in treatment while a replacement catheter is obtained.
Arrow is recalling certain PICC kits that may contain the wrong catheter size. This could delay treatment because healthcare providers might need to get a replacement catheter.
The kits may include a catheter that is too large or too small for the intended use. This mismatch could cause treatment delays as healthcare providers need to replace the catheter with the correct size.
Healthcare providers who use these PICC kits for medical treatments are most at risk. Patients receiving care with the recalled kits may experience delays in treatment.
Check for Product Code CDC-44052-VPS2 or serial numbers 23F17K0753 and 23F17L0299 on the kit packaging. These kits were sold by Arrow International Inc.
Verify the product code and serial numbers on the kit to confirm if it is affected.
The kits may contain the incorrect catheter size, which could delay treatment when a replacement catheter is needed.
Check the product code and serial numbers to see if it is affected. If it is, contact Arrow for guidance.
The recall is for potential treatment delays, not a risk of serious injury. The hazard does not involve immediate harm.
