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 pump models.
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 in gravity and pump IV 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 infection risks if the set is used without proper checks.
The IV set can allow medication from a secondary (piggyback) container to flow back into the primary IV container. This may cause incorrect dosing or contamination if the set cannot be properly primed to check for blockages.
Healthcare professionals using these IV sets with gravity or pump systems, particularly those administering medications via piggyback infusions. Patients receiving IV treatments with these sets are at risk if the backflow occurs.
Check for the catalog number 490343 on the IV set. These sets were sold with B Braun's Infusomat Space, Outlook, and Vista Basic pumps. The product is labeled as 'IV ADMIN SET, 2 CARESITE, TRIP MANIFOLD'.
Inspect the IV set for the catalog number 490343 to confirm if it is affected. If present, stop using it immediately.
