Product sterility may be compromised due to unsealed packaging.
Arrow is recalling double-lumen central venous catheterization kits with blue flextip catheters due to unsealed packaging that could compromise sterility. This risk of contamination during medical procedures may lead to infections if the kit is used without proper sterilization.
The unsealed packaging means the catheter kit could become contaminated during storage or shipping. If the kit is used without proper sterilization, it may introduce harmful bacteria into the patient's bloodstream, causing infections.
Healthcare professionals using the recalled catheter kits for medical procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving these kits could face infection if the unsealed packaging leads to contamination.
Check for product codes ASK-42802-VC or ASK-47702-VC with specific lot numbers listed in the recall notice. The kits include blue flextip catheters and sharps safety features.
Discard the recalled catheter kit if you have it to prevent potential contamination.
