B Braun recalls IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems due to potential medication backflow 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 and pump systems 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 complications if the set is used without proper checks.
The IV sets can allow medication from a secondary container to flow back into the primary IV line, which may cause incorrect dosing. They also may not prime correctly, leading to blockages that could disrupt treatment.
Healthcare professionals and patients using IV therapy with gravity or pump systems. Those using the specific recalled sets are most at risk.
Check for the catalog number 490245 on the set. These sets were sold with specific pumps like Infusomat Space, Outlook, and Vista Basic. The expiration date is the earliest of the components or 36 months from manufacture.
