B Braun recalls gravity IV sets with CARESITE injection sites due to potential medication backflow into primary IV containers and inability to prime. Affected units include specific catalog numbers for gravity IV administration sets.
Potential for backflow of medication from secondary (piggyback) IV containers into primary IV containers and the inability to prime (occlusion).
B Braun is recalling gravity IV administration sets with CARESITE injection sites because they can cause medication to flow backward into the main IV container and become clogged. This could lead to incorrect dosing or infection risks during medical treatments.
The sets may allow medication from secondary IV containers to flow back into the primary container, causing incorrect dosing. They can also become clogged (occluded) during use, which prevents proper medication flow.
Healthcare professionals using these IV sets for patient care are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with the recalled sets could face medication errors or complications.
Check for the following labels: 'Primary Gravity IV Set with 2 CARESITE¿ Injection Sites' (catalog 354204), 'Primary Gravity IV Set with 3 CARESITE¿ Injection Sites' (catalogs 354205 and 354206). These sets are used with B Braun's Infusomat Space pumps.
Look for the specific catalog numbers: 354204, 354205, or 354206 on the IV set packaging or labels.
