Arrow International central venous catheter kits recalled for contaminated anesthetic drugs
What this means
Arrow International included lidocaine, bupivacaine, and saline solution from a supplier with quality problems in multiple central venous catheter kits. The supplier's products had reports of ineffectiveness, and if sterility is compromised, these injectable drugs could cause serious infection or other life-threatening complications.
- Check if your facility received any of the affected CVC kit models listed in the recall.
- Do not use affected kits; contact Arrow International or the FDA for instructions on returning or disposing of them.
- If any affected kits were already used on patients, monitor those patients for signs of infection or adverse reactions and notify their healthcare providers.
The agency's original wording
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.
