B Braun Medical Inc. is recalling 34,825 units of its Microbore Extension Set with 0.2 Micron Filter (Catalog Number V6215). The recall was initiated because the product label incorrectly states the device contains an air eliminating filter when it actually does not feature an air vent or a filter meant for air removal. Clinicians and healthcare providers should stop using the affected sets and contact the manufacturer to arrange for their return or replacement.
Because the filter used on these extension sets does not feature an air vent, it cannot remove air from the IV line as labeled. This error could result in air being inadvertently introduced into a patient's bloodstream, which may lead to serious health complications such as an air embolism.
