Product sterility may be compromised due to unsealed packaging.
Arrow is recalling pressure injectable multi-lumen catheter kits with blue FlexTip catheters due to unsealed packaging that could compromise sterility. This risk of infection means users should stop using the product immediately.
The packaging may not be properly sealed, allowing contaminants to enter the sterile components. This could lead to infections during medical procedures if the kit is used without proper sterility.
Healthcare professionals using the kit for central venous catheterization are most at risk. Patients receiving treatments through these kits could also be affected.
