Potential for backflow of medication from secondary (piggyback) IV containers into primary IV containers and the inability to prime (occlusion).
B Braun is recalling anesthesia IV sets that could allow medication to flow backward from secondary to primary IV containers, potentially causing incorrect dosing. This hazard occurs during gravity or pump administration of IV fluids.
The IV sets may allow medication to flow backward from secondary (piggyback) containers into primary containers. This can cause incorrect dosing of medication. The sets also cannot be properly primed, which may lead to blockages.
Healthcare professionals using these IV sets with B Braun pumps are most at risk. Patients receiving anesthesia through these sets could be affected if the sets are used incorrectly.
Check for the catalog number 490452 on the IV set. These sets were sold with B Braun Infusomat Space, Outlook, and Vista Basic pumps.
Look for the catalog number 490452 on the IV set label.
