Arrow AGB+ Multi-Lumen CVC Kit Recalled for Incorrect Lidstock Labeling

Arrow International Inc is recalling 745 units of the AGB+ Multi-Lumen CVC Kit because the lidstock label incorrectly lists the product code and catheter length.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the hazard is a minor labeling error (incorrect lidstock text) with no reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a Low severity score (1) as it is a documentation/packaging issue.

Plain-English summary

Arrow International Inc is recalling 745 units of the Arrow AGB+ Multi-Lumen CVC Kit (Product Code CDC-42703-1A). The recall was initiated because the lidstock label incorrectly states the product code as CDC-45703-1A and lists a catheter length of 20cm. The banner card correctly identifies the product as CDC-42703-1A with a 16cm catheter length.

The affected product is a multi-lumen central venous catheter kit intended to provide venous access to central circulation via subclavian, jugular, and femoral veins. The product is not intended for long-term use exceeding 30 days. The discrepancy is limited to the lidstock labeling; the physical product matches the correct banner card specifications.

The recall covers units distributed nationwide in the United States. The specific lot number is 13F18L0759. Healthcare facilities and consumers should verify the product code and catheter length against the banner card to ensure they are using the correct device.
