Reason/Issue	Smiths Medical has become aware of a labelling issue with one lot of PORT-A-CATH Plastic Hub Needles. The label on the lid stock of the individual needle package lists the incorrect product reorder number, description and product image. The product reorder number should be 21-2287-24 with a corresponding description and product image, but instead it lists the 21-2005-24 product reorder number, description and product image. The needle inside the individual package is the Product Reorder No. 21-2287-24 needle and the outer carton label lists the correct reorder number 21-2287-24.
