Recall of Arrow Endurance Extended Dwell Peripheral Catheter System
Extract:
Teleflex, and their subsidiary Arrow International, are recalling the ARROW Endurance Extended Dwell Peripheral Catheter System after reports of catheter separation or leakage. If the catheter separates while in a blood vessel, the catheter fragments could be left in the bloodstream and may migrate to other places in the body.
This issue may cause serious injury, including blockage of blood vessels, inadequate blood flow, injury to blood vessel walls, blood clots, blockage of the lung arteries (pulmonary embolism), heart attack, or death.
