B Braun Medical recalls IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems due to potential medication backflow and inability to prime. Affected units include specific catalog numbers for gravity IV systems.
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 certain IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems because they can cause medication to flow backward into the main IV container and fail to prime properly. This could lead to incorrect dosing or infection risks if the set is not used correctly.
The IV sets can allow medication from a secondary (piggyback) container to flow back into the primary IV container. This can cause incorrect dosing or contamination. The sets may also fail to prime, meaning they cannot be properly filled with fluid before use.
Healthcare professionals using IV administration sets with B Braun Medical's gravity or pump systems are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with these specific sets may also be affected.
Check for the catalog number 490329 on the IV administration set. These sets were sold with B Braun Medical's Infusomat Space, Outlook, and Vista Basic pumps. The product label includes the specific UDI-DI numbers.
Look for the catalog number 490:329 on the IV administration set or the UDI-DI numbers 04046964541100 and 04046964541094.
