B Braun recalls IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems due to potential medication backflow and inability to prime. Affected units have specific catalog numbers and expiration dates.
Potential for backflow of medication from secondary (piggyback) IV containers into primary IV containers and the inability to prime (occlusion).
B Braun is recalling IV administration sets used in gravity and pump IV 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 infection risks if the set is used without proper checks.
The IV set can allow medication from a secondary container to flow back into the primary container during use. It may also not prime correctly, causing blockages that could lead to incorrect dosing or infection.
Healthcare professionals using IV sets with B Braun's Infusomat, Outlook, or Vista pumps are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with these sets may also be affected.
Check for catalog number 49040: IV ADMIN SET W/CARESITE EXT SET. These sets were sold with B Braun's Infusomat, Outlook, or Vista pumps and have an expiration date of 36 months from manufacture.
Verify the catalog number 490407 and expiration date on the set's label.
