Arrow CVC Kit Recall for Missing Lot and UDI Stickers

Arrow International is recalling 23,904 central venous catheter kits because some may be missing stickers with lot, expiration, 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 and involves missing labeling/documentation (lot, expiration, UDI) rather than a direct physical defect or reported injury, fitting the 'Moderate' criteria for minor labeling errors.

Plain-English summary

Arrow International Inc is recalling 23,904 units of the ARROWg+ard BLUE PLUS Pressure Injectable Quad-Lumen CVC Kit. The recall was initiated because 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 lot codes associated with the recall are CDA-45854-P1A, 13F17C0325, 13F17D0283, and 13F17F0748.

This is a Class II recall. The missing stickers prevent the verification of the product's identity and expiration status, which is a documentation and labeling issue rather than a direct physical defect in the catheter itself.
