B Braun recalls blood administration sets used with gravity IV pumps and Infusomat pumps due to potential medication backflow and inability to prime. Affected units have specific catalog numbers and UDI-DI codes.
Potential for backflow of medication from secondary (piggyback) IV containers into primary IV containers and the inability to prime (occlusion).
B Braun is recalling blood administration sets used with gravity IV pumps and Infus: 1. Y-TYPE BLOOD SET W/ 170μm FILTER (catalog number 480233) may cause medication to flow backward into the main IV line and cannot be properly primed. This could lead to incorrect medication dosing if the set is not used correctly.
The sets may allow medication from a secondary IV container to flow back into the primary IV line. This can cause incorrect dosing if the set cannot be properly primed, potentially leading to unsafe medication administration.
Healthcare professionals using blood administration sets with gravity IV pumps or B Braun's Infusomat, Outlook, or Vista Basic pumps are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with these sets could be affected if the recall applies to their specific setup.
Check for the catalog number 480233 on the set. The product is labeled as a Y-TYPE BLOOD SET with a 170μm filter. It was sold with B Braun's Infusomat Space Large Volume Pump, Outlook Pump, and Vista Basic Pump.
Look for the catalog number 480233 on the blood administration set.
