FDA Recalls 250,000+ Catheters

Patient safety was compromised as the catheters were prone to separation and leakage.

Catheters have a pretty specific function, and that definitely does not include separating or leaking. According to a recent Cardiovascular Business article, the FDA issued a Class I recall for over 250,000 catheters manufactured by Arrow International, a subsidiary of Teleflex. As you’ve probably guessed, the recall is due to the risk of device separation and leakage, which can lead to serious injuries or death. The affected product is the Arrow Endurance Extended Dwell Peripheral Catheter System, commonly used for short-term access to a patient's peripheral vascular system during procedures like blood sample collection or fluid administration.
