B Braun Medical recalls IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems due to potential backflow of medication 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 Medical is recalling IV administration sets used in gravity and pump IV 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 may not 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 be affected if the sets malfunction.
Check for the catalog number 490340 on the IV set. These sets were sold with specific pumps like Infusomat Space, Outlook, and Vista Basic. The expiration date is the earliest expiration of components or 36 months from manufacturing.
Look for the catalog number 4903:40 on the IV set label. This model was used with specific pumps like Infusomat Space, Outlook, and Vista Basic.
