B Braun recalls blood administration sets used with gravity IV 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 is recalling blood administration sets used with gravity IV and pump systems because they might let medication flow backward from secondary containers into primary ones and can't be properly primed. This could lead to incorrect dosing or infections if the set isn: t working right.
The sets can allow medication from secondary IV containers to flow back into the primary container, which might cause incorrect dosing or infections. They also may not prime properly, meaning the set could become blocked (occluded) and stop working.
Healthcare professionals using these sets with gravity IV or pump systems, especially those administering medications via piggyback infusions. Patients receiving IV treatments with these sets are at risk if the set fails to prime correctly.
Check for the catalog number 490196 on the set, or look for the primary UDI-DI 04046964303722 and unit UDI-DI 04046964303715. These sets were sold with B Braun's Infusomat Space, Outlook, and Vista Basic pumps.
