B Braun 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 is recalling certain IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems because they can cause medication to flow backward into the main container and fail to prime properly. This could lead to incorrect dosing or infection risks if the sets are used without proper checks.
The sets can allow medication from secondary containers to flow back into the primary container during use. This may cause incorrect dosing or contamination if the sets cannot be properly primed to check for blockages.
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.
Check for the catalog number 490:653 on the set or the unit of dose UDI-DI 04046955836345. These sets were sold with B Braun's Infusomat Space, Outlook, and Vista Basic pumps.
Look for the catalog number 490653 or the unit of dose UDI-DI 04046955836345 on the IV administration set.
