Plain-English summary
B. Braun Medical, Inc. is recalling Infusomat SPACE PUMP IV sets (Model 362432) due to a potential malfunction of the backcheck valve. The backcheck valve is a critical component designed to prevent backflow of medication between intravenous containers.
A malfunctioning backcheck valve can cause secondary (piggyback) IV medications to flow backward into primary IV containers and may prevent the IV line from being properly primed before use. This could result in patients receiving incorrect medication amounts, experiencing adverse drug reactions, or experiencing loss of prescribed medication or blood products.
The recall affects approximately 2,160 units distributed in the United States and Canada. All lots of the Infusomat SPACE PUMP IV SET manufactured after August 2, 2023 are potentially affected, identified by UDI-DI 04046964182679.
Patients and healthcare providers should discontinue use of affected IV sets immediately. Contact B. Braun Medical, Inc. for replacement units. If you have received IV medications using these sets and have concerns, speak with your healthcare provider.
