Arrow recalls single-lumen central venous catheter kits with unsealed packaging that may compromise sterility, risking infection during medical procedures.
Product sterility may be compromised due to unsealed packaging.
Arrow is recalling single-lumen central venous catheterization kits because the packaging might not be sealed properly, which could lead to infections if used. This is a serious risk for patients undergoing procedures requiring these catheters.
The unsealed packaging could allow contaminants to enter the sterile components, potentially causing infections during catheter insertion. This risk is especially concerning for medical procedures where sterility is critical.
Healthcare professionals and patients who use the recalled catheter kits for medical procedures. Those with the specific product codes and lot numbers listed are most at risk.
Check for the product code ASK-24306-VC and lot numbers 13F17D0267, 13F17F0310, 13F17H0326, or 13F17K0315 on the packaging. The kit includes a Blue FlexTip ARROWg+ard Blue Catheter with sharps safety features.
