Becton Dickinson subsidiary CareFusion recalled some IV sets today after reports that cracks in the secondary set back-check valve caused infusion fluid to leak. The company said the secondary sets are attached to a needle-free device that has been cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and CareFusion thinks that causes the plastic to crack.
Leakage in the back-check valve connection could unintentionally delay the start of infusion, expose patients to chemicals, cause under-infusion without an alarm or interrupt infusion, CareFusion reported.
