Arrow recalls radial artery catheterization kits with unsealed packaging that may compromise sterility. Affected products include specific model codes and lot numbers. Consumers should check their kit details and contact Arrow for guidance.
Product sterility may be compromised due to unsealed packaging.
Arrow is recalling radial artery catheterization kits because unsealed packaging could lead to contamination. This risk means the kits might not be sterile when used, potentially causing infections or other complications during medical procedures.
The unsealed packaging could allow contaminants to enter the kit, making it non-sterile. This poses a risk of infection or other complications during medical procedures if the kit is used without proper sterilization.
Healthcare professionals using the kits for radial artery procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving these procedures may also be affected if the kits are not properly sterilized.
Check for product codes ASK-04020-AH, ASK-04020-MIHS, or ASK-04120-HF1. Lot numbers listed in the recall include specific sequences like 13F17B0102 for ASK-04020-AH.
Look for the product codes and lot numbers listed in the recall notice to confirm if your kit is affected.
The unsealed packaging may compromise sterility, increasing the risk of contamination during medical procedures.
Check the product codes and lot numbers against the recall list. Contact Arrow for further guidance.
