FDA Class I Recall: Description/REF: PSI KIT: 7 FR X 4 IN/ASK-09701-UP;… by ARROW INTERNATIONAL, LLC — Recall Details

Key facts

What this classification means

A Class I recall is FDA's most serious classification. FDA assigns Class I when there is a reasonable probability that use of, or exposure to, the recalled product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. This classification does not mean harm has already occurred in every case — it reflects FDA's assessment of the realistic worst-case risk profile of the defect described in the recall, based on the reason for recall reported by the firm. Class I recalls receive the closest FDA monitoring of the three classes: the recalling firm typically must submit a recall strategy, periodic status reports, and effectiveness checks confirming that the affected lots have actually been removed from distribution or corrected in the field. FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (for devices) or Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (for drugs) reviews the classification and can require additional corrective action if the initial response is judged insufficient. Because Class I is reserved for the highest-risk defects, professionals and consumers handling an affected lot are generally advised to treat the recall as time-sensitive rather than routine.

What consumers should do

Facilities and clinicians holding an affected lot or unit should stop using it for the indication described in the recall notice and quarantine remaining stock pending instructions from ARROW INTERNATIONAL, LLC. FDA recall records for devices typically direct the recalling firm to notify known accounts (hospitals, distributors, clinics) directly with a recall letter describing the specific corrective action — replacement, field correction, or return.
