Arrow VPS Access Kit Recalled for Missing Dressing Information

Arrow International is recalling VPS Access Kits because they lack required information regarding the included 3M Tegaderm CHG dressing.

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 explicitly states the issue is missing information and does not report any illnesses or injuries. Per the rubric, this fits the criteria for a moderate severity score (2) as a labeling/documentation issue without reported harm.
