Pressure Injectable Multi-Lumen Central Venous recalled

Timeline

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

Arrow International is recalling the affected product because the packaging may not be completely sealed, which may compromise sterility.

A sterility recall means a product that must be sterile, such as an injection or eye drop, may be contaminated. Using a non-sterile product can cause serious infection.
