Arrow International recalls certain Blue CVC kits due to potential sterility issues from incomplete sealing. Affected lots include specific part numbers and production dates. Consumers should check their kit details and contact Arrow for guidance.
Certain lots of cardiovascular catheters may not be completely sealed and so sterility of the product cannot be guaranteed.
Arrow International is recalling specific cardiovascular catheter kits because some may not seal properly, risking infection. This affects medical devices used for central venous access, so users should stop using affected kits immediately.
