B. Braun Medical Inc. [B. Braun] initiated a voluntary recall of one lot of Infusomat ® Space Volumetric Infusion Pump Administration Sets (Catalog Number 363032, Lot Number 0061641410). The recalled administration sets are used to deliver parenteral fluids. B. Braun identified through customer complaints the potential of the infusion pump administration set to leak and/or disconnect at the bonded joint between the tubing and injection site. Leakage or disconnection of the set may result in the potential for microorganisms to contaminate the fluid path and enter the circulatory system, creating a risk of bloodstream infection. Additionally, if the fluid path is open, there is potential for air to enter the circulatory system, which might lead to air embolization. To date, we have received 17 complaints associated with the product. However, these complaints have not resulted in patient death or serious injury.
A total of 2,580 units of the recalled administration sets were manufactured on September 21, 2018 and distributed between November 23, 2018 and March 20, 2019. B. Braun notified its distributors and customers by certified mail on April 30, 2019 and is arranging for the return of all recalled administration sets. Distributors and customers that have inventory of Catalog Number 363032, Lot Number 0061641410, for Infusomat Space Volumetric Infusion Pump Administration Sets should discontinue use immediately and contact the B. Braun Medical Inc. Customer Support Department at 1-800-227-2862 Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (EST) for instructions to return the affected administration sets; and to arrange for either replacement of product or refund.
