Arrow Central Venous Catheter Kits Recalled for Missing Safety Checklists
Arrow International is recalling 18,124 central venous catheter kits nationwide because they lack required clinical safety checklists.
What this means for you
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is due to missing documentation (checklists) rather than a physical defect or contamination, which aligns with the 'documentation issues' criterion for a Low severity score.
