Infusion Pump Sets Recalled for Potential Backflow of Medication

B. Braun is recalling Infusomat UNIV. 15 IV pump sets due to a backcheck valve malfunction that could divert medication between containers and prevent proper priming.

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: FDA Class II recall describing potential for backcheck valve malfunction that could result in adverse drug reactions and loss of medication or blood. However, the source text does not explicitly report confirmed injuries or hospitalizations, making this a risk-of-harm product without documented incident reports.

Plain-English summary

The backcheck valve in these pump sets may malfunction, potentially allowing medication from secondary IV containers to flow backward into primary IV containers.

These issues could result in adverse drug reactions, loss of medication, or blood loss.

Healthcare facilities using these pump sets should contact B. Braun Medical, Inc. immediately to learn how to obtain replacement units or receive instructions for safe discontinuation.
