B Braun Medical recalls IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems due to potential medication backflow and inability to prime. Affected units have specific catalog numbers and pump models.
Potential for backflow of medication from secondary (piggyback) IV containers into primary IV containers and the inability to prime (occlusion).
B Braun Medical is recalling certain IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems because they can cause medication to flow backward into the main IV line and fail to prime properly. This could lead to incorrect dosing or contamination of the medication.
The IV sets can allow medication from secondary containers to flow back into the primary IV line, potentially causing contamination. They may also fail to prime correctly, leading to blockages that could disrupt treatment.
Healthcare professionals using these IV sets with gravity or pump systems, particularly those administering medications via piggyback infusions. Patients receiving IV treatments with these sets are at risk of medication errors.
