B Braun recalls low-volume hemodialysis bloodlines with potential air bubble accumulation in arterial lines due to blood gas adherence. Affected model B3-3632M3705 (all lots since Aug 2025) may cause complications during dialysis.
Potential for the accumulation of small air bubbles in the arterial line due to adherence of blood gases to the tubing under negative pressure.
B Braun is recalling low-volume hemodialysis bloodlines with a specific pump segment model. This could cause air bubbles to accumulate in the arterial line during dialysis, potentially leading to complications.
The tubing may trap small air bubbles when blood flows under negative pressure during dialysis. This happens because blood gases stick to the tubing, which can cause air to build up in the arterial line.
Patients using hemodialysis treatments with the recalled bloodlines are affected. Healthcare providers using this specific model for dialysis are most at risk.
Check for the model number B3-3632M3705 on the bloodline packaging. The product was manufactured starting August 2025.
