B Braun recalls specific IV administration sets used with pumps due to potential medication backflow and inability to prime. Affected units include those with catalog number 480:231.
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 container and fail to prime properly. This could lead to incorrect dosing or infections if the set is used without proper checks.
The IV sets can allow medication from a secondary container to flow back into the primary container, potentially causing incorrect dosing. They may also not prime correctly, leading to blockages or incomplete medication delivery.
Healthcare professionals using these IV sets with B Braun pumps like Infusomat Space, Outlook, or Vista Basic are most at risk. Patients receiving IV treatments with these sets could also be affected.
Check for the catalog number 480231 on the set. These sets were sold with B Braun pumps such as Infusomat Space, Outlook, and Vista Basic models.
