B Braun recalls IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems due to potential medication backflow and inability to prime. Affected units include specific models sold with Infusomat Space, 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 certain IV administration sets used with gravity or pump systems because they can cause medication to flow backward into the main container and fail to prime properly. This could lead to incorrect dosing or contamination of the medication.
The IV sets can allow medication from a secondary container to flow back into the primary container during use. They may also become blocked (occluded), making it impossible to properly prime the set before use. This could lead to incorrect medication dosing or contamination.
Healthcare professionals using these IV sets with B Braun pumps like Infusomat Space, Outlook, or Vista Basic are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with these specific sets may also be affected.
Check for the catalog number 490437 on the set. These sets were sold with B Braun's Infusomat Space, Outlook, and Vista Basic pumps between the earliest expiration date or 24 months after manufacture.
