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 burette sets used with gravity and pump IV systems. These sets could allow medication to flow backward from secondary to primary IV containers, potentially causing contamination or improper dosing.
The burette sets can allow medication to flow backward from secondary (piggyback) IV containers into primary IV containers. This backflow could lead to contamination or improper dosing of medications, especially if the set cannot be properly primed.
Healthcare professionals using IV pumps or gravity systems with the recalled burette sets are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with these sets may face medication contamination.
Check for catalog number 490:159 on the burette set. These sets were sold with Infusomat pumps including Space, Outlook, and Vista Basic models.
