Arrow recalls pressure injectable multi-lumen catheter kits missing critical safety guides for central line insertions. This could lead to errors during procedures if clinicians don't follow proper steps.
Products do not contain the Central Venous Catheter Placement Procedures Note or the Central Line Insertion Checklist, which is a tool intended to guide clinicians in the use of best practices during central line insertions.
