Arrow arterial line and vessel catheter kits contain recalled drugs

Arrow arterial line, radial artery and vessel catheter kits are being recalled because they contain lidocaine, bupivacaine and 0.9% sodium chloride subject to a supplier recall.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I recall, which the rubric floors at Severe; no death is reported in the source, so it does not escalate to Critical.

Plain-English summary

Arrow International is recalling arterial line, radial artery, vessel catheter and single-lumen CVC kits, covering REF ASK-04510-MM6, NA-04020-X1ASP, ASK-04001-MS, ASK-00820-UM1 and AK-04550-S among the catalog numbers listed in the recall notice. The action covers 126,530 units.

Lidocaine, bupivacaine and 0.9% sodium chloride, the subject of a supplier recall, were included in the kits and sets. According to the manufacturer, the supplier was found to have quality issues and limited reports of drug ineffectiveness, and if sterility of a water-based injectable product is compromised this could lead to serious or life-threatening injuries. The FDA classified the action as Class I, its most serious classification.

Distribution was nationwide in the United States across a large number of states. The kits are supplied to healthcare facilities rather than sold to consumers.

Facilities should identify affected stock using the REF numbers, UDI-DI codes and lot numbers in the recall notice, quarantine it, and follow the instructions issued by Arrow International.
