B Braun Medical recalls specific IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems due to potential backflow of medication and inability to prime. Affected units have catalog number 49041: 130 IN. IV ADMIN SET W/ 9 IN. EXT SET.
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 container and fail to prime properly. This could lead to incorrect dosing or infections if the sets are used without proper checks.
The sets can allow medication from secondary containers to flow back into the primary container during use. This may cause incorrect dosing or contamination if the sets are not properly primed, which could lead to infections or treatment errors.
