Arrow International hemodialysis kit recalled for sterility issues

Arrow International hemodialysis kits contain anesthetic and saline solutions from a supplier with quality control problems and reports of drug ineffectiveness. If the sterility of these injectable products is compromised, patients could face serious or life-threatening complications.

  • Check if your facility received hemodialysis kits with model AK-12122-F and any of the listed lot numbers
  • Do not use affected kits; contact Arrow International or your distributor for replacement or instructions
  • Report any adverse events 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.
