Plain-English summary
B. Braun Medical, Inc. is recalling OUTLOOK IV SET 15DROP W/3 CARESITE (Model 354213), an intravenous medication administration set used with electrically-powered infusion pumps. The recall is due to a potential malfunction of the backcheck valve in the IV set.
The backcheck valve is designed to prevent medication backflow, but if it malfunctions, medication from secondary (piggyback) containers could flow backward into primary containers. The malfunction may also prevent the IV set from being properly primed before use. These problems could result in loss of medication or blood and potential adverse drug reactions in patients receiving intravenous medication.
The recall affects approximately 88,968 units distributed nationwide in the United States and in Canada. All lots distributed after August 1, 2023 are included in the recall (UDI-DI 04046964182211). Healthcare providers and facilities using the affected IV sets should stop using them immediately and contact B. Braun Medical, Inc. for a replacement.
