FDA (Devices) recall action 78964
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 2 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 2 pages.
Finished good kits may contain incorrect components. Kits that should contain a 5 FR 2 lumen catheter may contain a 4 FR single lumen catheter and kits that should contain a 4 FR single lumen catheter may contain a 5 FR 2 lumen catheter. This may cause a delay in treatment while a replacement catheter is obtained.
The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.
The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
Arrow International is recalling specific PICC catheter kits because they may contain the wrong catheter size or lumen configuration, potentially delaying patient treatment.
