B Braun Medical recalls IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems due to potential medication backflow and inability to prime. Affected units have specific catalog numbers and expiration dates.
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 IV administration sets used with gravity and pump systems because they can cause medication to flow backward into the main container and fail to prime properly. This could lead to incorrect dosing or contamination of the medication.
The IV sets can allow medication from secondary containers to flow back into the primary container, potentially causing contamination. They may also fail to prime correctly, leading to blockages or incorrect medication delivery.
Healthcare professionals using these IV sets with gravity or pump systems are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with the recalled sets could face medication errors.
