Teleflex Inc. has updated a previously announced recall on its Arrow Select IV Tubing Sets, Accessories and Certain Embolectomy Catheters because they contain pin holes and are not sterile.
The recall now encompasses all lots of the company’s Arrow IV sets and accessories. Using these products could lead to patient injury or death. Arrow products have been shipped nation- and worldwide.
Teleflex said no injuries have been linked to these defective medical devices but acknowledges the under-reporting of adverse reactions.
According to a release from the Limerick, Pa., company, testing of the products revealed pin holes in the packaging of the devices. This compromises the product’s sterility and safety.
The recall includes:
* any Arrow product with a part number beginning with W followed by five numeric digits (e.g., W12345);
* any Arrow product with a part number beginning with MPI followed by five numeric digits (e.g., MPI-12345) which is an IV tubing set or tubing set accessory;
* either of the following two part numbers IV-850001-AAMC and IV-85020-UW;
