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 describes a minor labeling error with no reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'Moderate' criteria for minor labeling errors.

Plain-English summary

Arrow International Inc is recalling specific lots of Arrow Two-Lumen Central Venous Catheterization Kits with Blue FlexTip Catheters. The recall is due to a labeling error on the product lidstock, which states an incorrect priming volume. The priming volumes printed on the extension lines are correct.

The affected product is identified by Product Code AH-11802 (OUS) and GTN 00801902026132. The recall covers specific lot numbers distributed in Florida and North Carolina. The source text does not specify the total number of units affected or the exact distribution dates.

Healthcare facilities and consumers should check their inventory for the specific lot numbers listed in the recall notice. If the product is found, it should be removed from use and returned to the manufacturer or disposed of according to local regulations. The labeling error on the lidstock may cause confusion regarding the correct priming volume, although the extension lines contain the correct information.
