Emerphed Luer Lock Issues

I'm interested in hearing if those who have used Emerphed syringes (ePHEDrine 25 mg/5 mL) from Nexus received reports of difficulty administering. Specifically, the syringe connects via Luer but solution is not able to be pushed through the tip. We reported an event to Nexus in February and they responded that they haven't received any similar reports and will monitor. We recently experienced an additional event and are now looking at alternatives.
