Arrow International Recalls Select Kit Products Due to Molding Abnormality

Arrow International is recalling 6,121 units of Select Kit products due to a component molding abnormality reported by a supplier.

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 describes a packaging component molding abnormality without reporting any illnesses, injuries, or specific functional failures of the medical device itself, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.
