Plain-English summary
Arrow International Inc is recalling 3,640 units of the Arrow AGB+ Multi-Lumen CVC Kit, 7 Fr., 3 Lumen, 20cm catheter length, .025 inch dia. spring-wire guide, Product Code CDC-45703-B1A. The recall is due to labeling inconsistencies where the lidstock, banner card, or shipper label incorrectly states the Spring Wire Guide (SWG) size as .032 rather than the correct .025. In some lots, the lidstock is correct while the banner card is incorrect.
The affected lots are 13F17E0685, 13F17F0562, 13F17H0141, 13F17K0340, 13F18B0119, and 13R17E0685. These products were distributed nationwide in California, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The catheter is intended to provide venous access to the central circulation and help protect against catheter-related infections, but it is not intended for long-term use or as a treatment for existing infections.
Healthcare facilities and consumers should check their inventory for these specific lot numbers and stop using the affected kits. They should contact Arrow International Inc for further instructions on how to return or dispose of the products.
