Hello! I wanted to alert this group of a safety issue that we encountered recently. Our facility uses Alaris infusion pumps and we had multiple reports last week regarding incorrect volume detection, incorrect rates of delivery, and backflow into syringes. Upon investigation of these events it was identified that we had received new syringes distributed by Cardinal Health labeled as MONOJECT syringes. They were different from our previous Covidien MONOJECT syringes with respect to barrel size, plunger length, dead space volume, and space between the volume. We escalated this issue to Alaris and Cardinal and they had already received additional reports.
