Arrow recalls certain Multi-Lumen Central Venous Catheterization Kits due to unsealed packaging potentially compromising sterility. Affected kits may cause infections if used improperly.
Product sterility may be compromised due to unsealed packaging.
Arrow is recalling specific Multi-Lumen Central Venous Catheterization Kits because the packaging might not be sealed properly. This could lead to infections if the kit is used without proper sterility.
The unsealed packaging could allow contamination, making the kit less sterile than it should be. This increases the risk of infection during medical procedures.
Healthcare professionals using the recalled kits for central venous catheterization are most at risk. Patients receiving these procedures could be affected if the kits are used without proper sterility.
Check for product code ASK-42703-RV1 and lot numbers 13F17B0020 through 13F17L0455. The kits have Blue FlexTip and ARROWg+ard Blue PLUS catheters with sharps safety features.
Look for product code ASK-42703-RV1 on the kit packaging.
Reach out to Arrow International for further assistance if you have the recalled kit.
The packaging may not be sealed properly, which could compromise sterility and increase infection risk.
Check the product code and lot numbers to see if your kit is affected. Contact Arrow International for further instructions.
This is a low-risk issue as the hazard involves potential infection from compromised sterility, not immediate danger.
