Arrow Pediatric Central Venous Catheter Recalled for Incorrect Labeling
Arrow International Inc. is recalling specific lots of pediatric central venous catheters because the lidstock labels list incorrect priming volumes and flow rates.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text identifies the issue as a labeling error (incorrect priming volume and flow rates) without reporting any injuries or illnesses. This aligns with the rubric for minor labeling errors or low-risk issues.
