B Braun Medical recalls IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems due to potential medication backflow and inability to prime. Affected units include specific catalog numbers for gravity IV sets.
Potential for backflow of medication from secondary (piggyback) IV containers into primary IV containers and the inability to prime (occlusion).
B Braun Medical is recalling certain IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems because they can cause medication to flow backward into the main IV container and fail to prime properly. This could lead to incorrect dosing or contamination of the medication.
The IV sets can allow medication from a secondary (piggyback) container to flow back into the primary IV container. This can cause medication to be incorrectly dosed or contaminated. The sets may also fail to prime, meaning air can block the flow of medication.
Healthcare professionals using these IV sets with gravity or pump systems are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with the recalled sets could be affected if the sets are not properly primed.
Check for the catalog number 490427 on the IV set. These sets were sold with gravity IV systems and pump devices like the Infusomat Space, Outlook, and Vista Basic pumps.
Look for the catalog number 490425 on the IV set label to confirm it is affected.

The IV sets can cause medication to flow backward into the primary container and may not prime properly, leading to incorrect dosing or contamination.
Yes, patients receiving IV treatments with the recalled sets could be at risk of incorrect dosing or medication contamination.
