B Braun recalls IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems due to backflow risk and inability to prime. Affected units have 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 is recalling certain IV administration sets used with gravity or 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 set is used without proper checks.
The IV sets can allow medication from secondary containers 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 with gravity or pump systems are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with the recalled sets could face medication errors or infections.
Check for catalog number 490491 or primary UDI-DI 0404695:55086931 on the set. These units were sold with specific pumps like Infusomat Space, Outlook, and Vista Basic.
Look for catalog number 490491 or primary UDI-DI 04046955086931 on the IV administration set.
