B Braun recalls anesthesia IV sets used with gravity and pump systems due to potential backflow of medication between IV containers and inability to prime. Affected units have specific catalog numbers and are sold with Infusomat, Outlook, and Vista pumps.
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 used with gravity or pump systems because they can cause medication to flow backward between IV containers and fail to prime properly. This could lead to incorrect dosing or complications during medical procedures.
The IV sets can allow medication from a secondary (piggyback) container to flow back into the primary IV container. This may cause incorrect dosing or blockages that prevent the IV from being properly primed, potentially leading to treatment complications.

Check for catalog numbers 490189 or 490226 on the IV set. These sets are used with B Braun's Infusomat, Outlook, or Vista pumps and were sold with specific UDI-DI codes.
