B Braun recalls specific IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems due to potential medication backflow and inability to prime. Affected units have catalog number 490:225.
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 used without proper checks.
The IV set may allow medication from a secondary container to flow back into the primary container during use. This can cause incorrect dosing or contamination if the set cannot be properly primed to check for blockages.
Healthcare professionals using these IV sets with B Braun's Infusomat, Outlook, or Vista pumps are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with the recalled sets could face medication errors.
Check for the catalog number 490225 on the set. These sets were sold with B Braun's Infusomat, Outlook, or Vista pumps between 2020 and 2024 (based on expiration dates).
Look for the catalog number 490225 on the IV administration set.
