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 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 infections if the set is used without proper checks.
The IV sets can allow medication from a secondary container to flow back into the primary container, which might cause incorrect dosing. They also may not prime correctly, leading to blockages or incomplete medication delivery.
Healthcare professionals using IV sets with B Braun's Infusomat Space, Outlook, or Vista Basic pumps are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with these specific sets may also be affected.
Check for catalog number 490451 on the IV set. These sets were sold with B Braun's Infusomat Space, Outlook, or Vista Basic pumps between the dates listed on the expiration label.
