Arrow recalls pressure injectable multi-lumen catheter kits missing critical safety guides for central line insertions. This could lead to errors during procedures without proper checklists.
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.
Arrow is recalling pressure injectable multi-lumen catheter kits that do not include the Central Venous Catheter Placement Procedures Note or Central Line Insertion Checklist. These missing tools could lead to errors during central line insertions if clinicians don't follow best practices.
The kits lack essential checklists and guides that help clinicians follow safe procedures during central line insertions. Without these tools, there's a risk of procedural errors, but the hazard doesn't involve immediate physical harm like injury or death.
Healthcare professionals using these catheter kits for central line insertions are most at risk. The recall affects hospitals and clinics that use the specific Arrow kits.
Look for the kit model numbers ASK-45703-PUR1 or 23F16H0385. These kits were sold by Arrow International Inc. for central line procedures.
Verify the model number on the kit packaging to confirm if it matches ASK-45703-PUR1 or 23F16H0385.
The kits do not include the Central Venous Catheter Placement Procedures Note or Central Line Insertion Checklist, which are tools intended to guide clinicians in best practices during central line insertions.
The official recall notice does not specify a remedy or action steps beyond checking the model number.
The recall indicates a risk of procedural errors without the missing checklists, but the hazard does not involve immediate physical harm like injury or death.
