About This Product

IV administration sets are used to deliver fluids and medications through IV pumps or gravity systems. They connect to IV bags or bottles and to patient IV catheters.

Why This Is Dangerous

Backflow could transfer medication from the piggyback line into the primary line, potentially altering dose delivery. An occlusion may prevent priming and secure flow.

Real-World Impact

Health systems may need to replace affected sets and review IV administration protocols to prevent backflow and ensure reliable priming.
