Infusion Pump Set Recalled for Potential Backcheck Valve Malfunction and Medication Backflow

What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This FDA Class II recall involves potential for serious patient harm—medication backflow and inability to deliver IV medication—but the source reports no actual injuries or hospitalizations, meeting the criterion for high-risk products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
B. Braun Medical, Inc. is recalling the Infusomat UNIV. 15 DROP PUMP SET W/3 SAFELINE, ASV (Model 363030), an electrically-powered IV infusion pump set designed for intravenous medication administration. Approximately 37,776 units have been distributed nationwide in the United States and to Canada.
The backcheck valve in these pump sets may malfunction. If the valve fails, medication from secondary (piggyback) IV containers can backflow into primary IV containers. Additionally, the malfunction may prevent proper priming of the pump, making it unable to deliver medication to patients. These failures could result in medication or blood loss and adverse drug reactions.
The affected pump sets were distributed after August 2, 2023, and are identified by UDI-DI 04046964294259. Healthcare facilities and patients using these devices should contact B. Braun Medical, Inc. for instructions on replacement or return of the affected units. Patients with concerns should consult their healthcare provider.
