Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		 The labeling states that the kit contains Introducer Needle: Echogenic 18 Ga. x 2.5 (6.35cm) XTW and 5mL ArroW Raulerson Spring-Wire Introduction Syringe; however, the kit contains, and should state, Introducer Needle: 18 Ga. x 2.5 (6.35cm) XTW and 5mL ArroW Raulerson Spring-Wire Introduction Syringe. As a result of this labeling inconsistency, if the clinician were to place the needle under x-r
FDA Determined
Cause 2		 Labeling False and Misleading
