B Braun recalls specific IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems due to potential backflow of medication and inability to prime. Affected units include those with catalog number 49050: 108-inch sets for 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 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 set is not used correctly.
The IV sets can allow medication from secondary containers to flow back into the primary IV line, which may cause incorrect dosing. They also may not prime correctly, leading to blockages that could cause medication to not flow properly.
Healthcare professionals using these IV sets with gravity or pump systems, particularly those administering medications via piggyback infusions. Patients receiving IV treatments with these sets are at risk of medication errors or infections.
Check for the catalog number 490504 on the set, which is used with B Braun's Infusomat, Outlook, and Vista Basic pumps. These sets are labeled as 108-inch IV administration sets with 15 drops per milliliter.
