Product sterility may be compromised due to unsealed packaging.
Arrow is recalling certain pressure injectable catheter kits because the packaging might not be sealed properly, which could lead to contamination. This affects medical devices used for central venous catheterization. If you have the recalled model with specific lot numbers, stop using it immediately.
The unsealed packaging could allow contaminants to enter the sterile components of the catheter kit during storage or handling. This poses a risk of infection or contamination for patients during medical procedures.
