B Braun recalls IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems due to backflow risk and priming issues. 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 contamination of the medication.
The IV sets can allow medication from a secondary container to flow back into the primary container, which may cause incorrect dosing or contamination. They also have a risk of not priming properly, meaning the system may not function correctly.
Healthcare professionals using these IV sets with gravity or pump systems are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with the recalled sets could be affected if the sets are not properly primed.
Check for catalog number 470179 on the IV set. These sets were sold with specific pumps like Infusomat Space, Outlook, and Vista Basic. The expiration date is typically 36 months from manufacture.
