Arrow International catheter kits recalled for sterility concerns

Arrow International included injectable medications (lidocaine, bupivacaine, and sodium chloride) from a supplier with quality issues in several catheter kit models. If the sterility of these water-based injectable products is compromised, patients could face serious or life-threatening infections.

  • Check if you have any affected kit lot numbers (full list available in recall details)
  • Do not use affected kits; contact your healthcare provider or hospital pharmacy for replacement

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.
