Arrow International PICC and JACC catheter kits recalled for contaminated anesthetic and saline components
Arrow International catheter kits recalled for contaminated components
Arrow International included lidocaine, bupivacaine, and saline solution from a supplier with quality issues in multiple PICC and JACC catheter kits. The anesthetic and saline components may be ineffective or contaminated, which could cause serious infection or other life-threatening complications if used.
- Check if your facility received any of the affected catheter kit models listed in this recall.
- Do not use kits matching the recalled lot numbers; contact Arrow International or your distributor for a replacement.
- Report any adverse events or product issues 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.
