Plain-English summary

B. Braun Medical, Inc. is recalling 32,752 units of the Infusomat UNIV. 15 DR PUMP SET (Model 363424), a tubing set used with electrically-powered infusion pumps for intravenous medication administration. The recall affects units distributed worldwide, including the U.S. and Canada, with all lots distributed after August 1, 2023.

The backcheck valve in the tubing set may malfunction, causing medication from secondary (piggyback) IV containers to flow backward into primary IV containers. The valve malfunction could also prevent the tubing set from being properly primed. These failures could result in loss of medication or blood, or adverse drug reactions in patients.

This recall affects healthcare facilities, hospitals, and other healthcare settings using these tubing sets for IV medication administration. Affected devices are identified by UDI-DI 04046964837906.
