Product Description

Pressure Injectable Arrowg+ard Blue Plus Multi-Lumen Central Venous Catheterization Kit. Permits venous access to central circulation by way of subclavian, jugular and femoral veins. The ARROWg+ard technology is intended to provide protection against catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs). It is not intended to be used as a treatment for existing infections nor is it indicated for long-term use (>30 days). Clinical effectiveness of the ARROW g+ard Blue Plus catheter in preventing CRBSIs compared to the original ARROWg+ard Blue catheter has not been studied

Reason for Recall

Arrow International is recalling due to possible voids in the catheter hub, which could lead to an interlumen crossover.
