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 490:317.
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 can allow medication from a secondary (piggyback) container to flow back into the primary IV container. This can cause incorrect dosing or infections. The set may also fail to prime, meaning it cannot be properly checked for blockages before use.

Check for the catalog number 490317 on the IV set. These sets were sold with B Braun's Infusomat Space, Outlook, and Vista Basic pumps. They are labeled as 'IV AD SET CARESITE 127 IN. EXT SET 9 IN.'
