Arrow International issues correction for convenience kits containing recalled saline, lidocaine and bupivacaine

Arrow International, a Teleflex subsidiary, sent a correction notice to customers about certain convenience kits.

The kits contain 10 mL saline ampules, lidocaine and bupivacaine. The FDA classifies the recall as the most serious type because continued use without correction could cause serious injury or death.

Customers are instructed not to use the affected saline, lidocaine or bupivacaine ampules, to discard them upon opening, and to obtain these drugs separately from their pharmacy and prepare per institutional protocols.

Facilities should inform all relevant personnel of the notice and follow the recommended actions before proceeding with any procedures.
