Arrow Central Venous Catheter Kits Recalled for Missing Identification Stickers
Arrow International is recalling 23,904 central venous catheter kits because some may be missing stickers with lot numbers, expiration dates, and UDI information.
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 specific defect is a missing sticker containing lot and expiration data, which falls under the rubric's criteria for 'documentation issues' and 'minor labeling errors' that do not pose an immediate physical risk of harm.
Plain-English summary
Arrow International Inc is recalling 23,904 Multi-Lumen Central Venous Catheterization Kits with Blue FlexTip Catheter and Sharps Safety Features. The recall is due to a documentation issue where some of the products may be missing a sticker that contains the lot number, expiration date, and Unique Device Identification (UDI) information.
The affected products were distributed in the United States in the states of Ohio, Florida, South Carolina, Texas, Kentucky, New Jersey, and Michigan. The specific product codes involved are ASK-12703-PRJ, 13F17B0279, 13F17D0112, ASK-15703-PRJ, and 13F17B0265.
This is an FDA Class II recall. The missing stickers prevent the verification of the product's identity and expiration status, which is a documentation and labeling defect rather than a direct physical hazard to the patient. Healthcare facilities should check their inventory for these specific product codes and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
