Potential for backflow of medication from secondary (piggyback) IV containers into primary IV containers and the inability to prime (occlusion).
B Braun Medical is recalling certain IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems because they can cause medication to flow backward into the main IV line and fail to prime properly. This could lead to incorrect dosing or infections if the IV system is not functioning correctly.
The IV sets can allow medication from a secondary (piggyback) container to flow back into the primary IV container. This can cause incorrect dosing or contamination. Additionally, the sets may not prime properly, leading to blockages that could cause medication to not flow as intended.
Healthcare professionals using these IV sets with gravity or pump systems, particularly those in hospitals or clinics. Patients receiving IV treatments are at risk if the sets are not properly functioning.
Check for the catalog number 490274 on the IV administration set. These sets were sold with B Braun Medical's Infusomat Space, Outlook, and Vista Basic pumps. The expiration date is the earliest expiration of components or 36 months from the date of manufacture.
