B Braun recalls specific IV extension sets used with Infusomat pumps due to potential medication backflow and inability to prime. Affected units have catalog numbers 456521 or 456522.
Potential for backflow of medication from secondary (piggyback) IV containers into primary IV containers and the inability to prime (occlusion).
B Braun is recalling two types of IV extension sets used with their Infusomat pumps because they can cause medication to flow backward into the main IV line and fail to prime properly. This could lead to incorrect dosing or infections if the sets are used without proper checks.
The extension sets can allow medication from a secondary IV container to flow back into the primary container. This creates a risk of incorrect dosing or contamination if the sets cannot be properly primed to check for blockages.
Healthcare professionals using B Braun IV extension sets with Infusomat pumps are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with these sets may also be affected if the issue isn't corrected.
Check for catalog numbers 456521 or 456522 on the extension sets. These sets are used with B Braun Infusomat pumps like the Space, Outlook, or Vista Basic models.
Look for catalog numbers 456521 or 456522 on the extension set label.
If you have the affected catalog numbers, contact B Braun directly for a replacement set.
