Where it was sold
Why it was recalled
Arterial Line Kits include thicker curved reverse-cutting needle with a 0-silk suture, instead of the usual straight-cutting needle with a 3-0 silk suture. The thicker suture may be more difficult to tie. The curved needle requires the use of a needle driver, there is a risk of needle stick to the surgeon tries to do it with fingers instead.
This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
