What patients and clinicians should know about the VectorFlow catheter recall
Teleflex subsidiary Arrow International is recalling multiple configurations of its Arrow-Clark VectorFlow hemodialysis catheters after reports of a manufacturing defect that may affect device performance during use.
Why this matters
Hemodialysis catheters are central-line devices used for patients with kidney failure. A defect that compromises flow or integrity can delay treatment and, in serious cases, lead to complications such as embolism or infection.
What to do
- Check whether your device REF/catalog number appears in the affected list below.
- Do not remove a functioning implanted device without clinical guidance.
- Clinicians should quarantine affected unused inventory and contact the manufacturer for return instructions.
Manufacturer response
Arrow has notified affected accounts and is coordinating returns. This is a developing story and will be updated as the FDA publishes additional details.
