Arrow International central venous catheter kits recalled for compromised drug sterility risk
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
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.
