ARROW INTERNATIONAL, LLC recalls Description/REF: RA CATH KIT: 20 GA X 1-3/4IN/AK-04020-SPC
Reason for recall
Lidocaine, Bupivacaine, and 0.9% sodium chloride, the subject of a supplier recall, were included into kits and sets. 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.
