About This Product

ADDitIV gravity IV sets are used to deliver medications via gravity-fed IV therapy. They connect piggyback containers to primary IV lines in clinical care. Users rely on proper priming to ensure accurate dosing.

Why This Is Dangerous

Backflow can cause medications to mix improperly between containers, potentially delivering an incorrect dose. An occlusion can prevent proper flow of IV fluids, delaying treatment.

Industry Context

This recall is not described as part of a broader industry pattern.

Real-World Impact

Healthcare settings may need to switch to alternative IV sets. Hospitals and clinics should review inventory and affected lots to prevent medication errors.

Practical Guidance

How to identify if yours is affected

  1. Check Catalog Number 352062 on your ADDitIV gravity IV sets.
  2. Verify UDIs: Primary 04046964181160 and Unit of Use 04046964181153.
  3. Review distribution records for facilities using Infusomat Space, Outlook Pump, or Vista Basic Pump with ADDitIV sets.

Where to find product info

Manufacturer recall letters and the FDA enforcement report provide identification details.

What timeline to expect

Recall actions typically run 4-8 weeks for replacement or corrective actions. Hospital procurement may coordinate direct replacements.

If the manufacturer is unresponsive

  • Document all communications with the manufacturer.
  • Escalate to hospital risk management or facility safety officer if responses are slow.

How to prevent similar issues

  • Use only non-vent, backflow-prevention IV sets when applicable.
  • Implement double-check procedures for IV line configurations.
  • Verify priming technique before IV administration.

Documentation advice

Keep a copy of recall communications, models, lot numbers, and any replacement orders. Maintain logs of any adverse events.
