Arrow recalls specific multi-lumen catheter kits due to unsealed packaging potentially compromising sterility. Affected lot numbers include 13F17E0547 through 13F17L0150.
Product sterility may be compromised due to unsealed packaging.
Arrow is recalling certain multi-lumen central venous catheterization kits because the packaging may not be sealed properly, risking contamination. This could lead to infections if the kit is used without proper sterility.
The unsealed packaging could allow contaminants to enter the kit, potentially causing infections during medical procedures. This risk is specific to the sterility of the catheter kit and not a general safety hazard.
Healthcare professionals using the ARROWg+ard Blue PLUS Multi-Lumen Central Venous Catheterization Kit with lot numbers 13F17E0547 through 13F17L0150 are most at risk. Patients receiving these kits during procedures could be affected if the sterility is compromised.
Check the lot numbers on the packaging: 13F17E0547, 13F17F0680, 13F17G0214, 13F17J0347, or 13F17L0150. The product is the ARROWg+ard Blue PLUS Multi-Lumen Central Venous Catheterization Kit.
Look for lot numbers 13F17E0547 through 13F17L0150 on the ARROWg+ard Blue PLUS Multi-Lumen Central Venous Catheterization Kit packaging.
