B Braun recalls anesthesia IV sets that may cause medication backflow between IV containers, risking contamination. Affected sets include specific models sold with Infusomat pumps. Stop using immediately to prevent potential contamination.
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 anesthesia IV sets used with gravity or pump administration systems. These sets could allow medication to flow backward from secondary to primary IV containers, potentially causing contamination. This risk is serious enough to require immediate action.
The IV sets may allow medication to flow backward from secondary (piggyback) containers into primary IV containers. This backflow can cause contamination of the primary medication, potentially leading to patient harm. The sets also cannot be properly primed, which increases the risk of blockages.
Healthcare professionals using the recalled IV sets for anesthesia administration are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with these sets could face medication contamination.
Check for the catalog number 490467 on the set. These sets were sold with Infusomat Space Large Volume Pump, Outlook Pump, and Vista Basic Pump systems. The product was labeled as 'IV AD. SET,15 DROPS/ML, W/EXT SET'.
