Arrow recalls specific multi-lumen central venous catheterization kits due to potential sterility compromise from unsealed packaging. Affected units include certain product codes and lot numbers.
Product sterility may be compromised due to unsealed packaging.
Arrow is recalling specific multi-lumen central venous catheterization kits because unsealed packaging could compromise sterility. This means the kits might not be sterile when opened, which could lead to infections if used.
The packaging may not seal properly, allowing contaminants to enter the kit. This could cause infections if the kit is used without proper sterility.
Healthcare professionals using the recalled catheter kits are most at risk. Patients receiving these kits could face infection if the unsealed packaging leads to contamination.
Check for product codes ASK-42703-PAM1, ASK-42703-PSHR1, ASK-45703-PNY, or ASK-45703-PWHC1. Look for specific lot numbers listed in the recall notice.
Identify if your kit has one of the listed product codes: ASK-42703-PAM1, ASK-42703-PSHR1, ASK-45703-PNY, or ASK-45703-PWHC1.
Confirm if your kit matches the specific lot numbers provided in the recall notice.
The recall addresses potential sterility compromise from unsealed packaging, which could lead to infections if the kit is used without proper sterility. However, the risk is low as the kits are designed for medical use.
Check for product codes ASK-42703-PAM1, ASK-42703-PSHR1, ASK-45703-PNY, or ASK-45703-PWHC1 and specific lot numbers listed in the recall notice.
