B Braun Medical recalls IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems due to potential medication backflow and inability to prime. Affected units include specific catalog numbers and expiration dates.
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 container and fail to prime properly. This could lead to incorrect dosing or infections if not addressed.
The IV sets can allow medication from a secondary container to flow back into the primary container, potentially causing incorrect dosing. They may also fail to prime correctly, leading to blockages or incomplete medication delivery.
Healthcare professionals using these IV sets for patient care are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with the recalled sets could face medication errors or infections.
Check for the catalog number 490: 490551 on the set. These sets were sold with specific expiration dates and are used with B Braun's Infusomat Space, Outlook, and Vista Basic pumps.
Look for catalog number 490551 on the IV set label.
