B Braun recalls specific anesthesia IV sets used with pumps due to potential medication backflow and inability to prime, risking contamination and occlusion.
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 anesthesia IV sets used with gravity or pump administration systems because they can cause medication to flow backward into the main IV line and fail to prime properly. This could lead to contamination or blockages in the IV system.
The IV sets can allow medication from secondary containers to flow back into the primary IV line, potentially contaminating the main medication. They may also fail to prime correctly, causing blockages (occlusion) in the IV system.
Healthcare professionals using the recalled IV sets with B Braun pumps are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with these sets could be affected if the sets are not properly maintained.
Check for the catalog numbers 490469 or 490470 on the IV sets. These sets were sold with B Braun's Infusomat Space, Outlook, and Vista Basic pumps.
