B Braun recalls specific IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems due to potential medication backflow and inability to prime. Affected sets have catalog numbers 490522 and 490568.
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 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 during use. This can cause incorrect dosing or contamination of the medication. Additionally, the sets may not prime correctly, leading to blockages or incomplete medication delivery.
Healthcare professionals using these IV sets with B Braun's Infusomat, Outlook, or Vista pumps are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with these specific sets may also be affected.
Check for catalog numbers 490522 or 490568 on the IV sets. These sets were sold with B Braun's Infusomat, Outlook, or Vista pumps between the dates listed on the expiration labels.
Look for catalog numbers 490522 or 490568 on the IV administration set.
