Product sterility may be compromised due to unsealed packaging.
Arrow is recalling two-lumen central venous access kits that may have unsealed packaging, risking contamination. This could lead to infections if used improperly. Affected kits have specific lot numbers and were sold with certain product codes.
The packaging may not be sealed properly, allowing contaminants to enter the kit. This could compromise sterility during medical procedures, increasing infection risk for patients and healthcare workers.
Healthcare professionals using the ARROWg+ard Blue MAC Two-Lumen Central Venous Access Kit for 7-7.5 Fr. catheters are most at risk. Patients receiving these kits could face infection if the unsealed packaging causes contamination.
Check for product code ASK-21142-WHC2 and lot numbers 13F17E0597, 13F17F0395, 13F17K0120, or 13F17L0532. These kits were sold for use with 7-7.5 Fr. catheters.
