Arrow International catheter kits recalled for sterility risk
Arrow International recalled multiple central venous catheter kits that contain lidocaine, bupivacaine, and saline solution from a supplier with quality issues. The supplier's products may have compromised sterility, which could reduce drug effectiveness and pose serious health risks if the injectable solution is contaminated.
- Check if your facility received any affected Arrow catheter kits (model numbers begin with ASK or CDC, followed by numbers like 09701, 09803, 09903, 11142, 11242, 21142, 21242, 29803, 29903)
- Verify lot numbers against the recall list provided by Arrow International
- Stop using affected kits immediately and quarantine them
- Contact Arrow International and your healthcare supplier for replacement kits
- Report any adverse events or drug ineffectiveness to the FDA MedWatch program
Hazard
Lidocaine, Bupivacaine, and 0.9% sodium chloride, the subject of a supplier recall, were included into kits and sets. The supplier was found to have quality issues and limited reports of drug ineffectiveness, and if sterility of a water-based injectable product is compromised this could lead to serious or life-threatening injuries.
