Arrow is recalling pressure injectable multi-lumen central venous catheterization kits that do not include the Central Venous Catheter Placement Procedures Note or Central Line Insertion Checklist. These tools are critical for guiding clinicians during central line insertions to prevent errors.
The kits lack essential clinical checklists and procedures notes that help healthcare providers follow safe insertion practices. Without these tools, there's a risk of errors during central line procedures, which could lead to complications for patients.
Healthcare professionals using these catheter kits for central line insertions are most at risk. Patients receiving care through these kits could be affected if the missing guides lead to improper procedures.
The kits have the model number ASK-15703-PWBH and part number 13F16K0166. They were sold with blue FlexTip catheters and sharps safety features.
Verify if the kit includes the Central Venous Catheter Placement Procedures Note and Central Line Insertion Checklist.

The recall record does not specify a remedy, so no action is required beyond checking if the kit includes the missing guides.
