Why it was recalled

Arrow is recalling additional lots that were identified as part of an active recall. Arrow is recalling the affected product due to the possibility that the catheter peel-away component hub tabs may prematurely detach when the practitioner begins to peel apart the sheath body from the catheter.

FDA root cause category: Device Design
