Becton Dickinson & Company has recalled 5,085,120 units of PosiFlush Prefilled Saline Syringes with General Pump Compatibility due to the use of an incorrect stopper during manufacturing. This defect causes an increase in the force required to inject the saline, which can trigger unexpected alarms when the syringes are used with a syringe pump. This recall affects nine specific lots of the 10mL syringes used for flushing medical devices. Consumers and healthcare providers should check their inventory immediately for the affected catalog and lot numbers.
The incorrect stopper creates excessive resistance during injection; if used with a syringe pump, this increased force can trigger occlusion alarms, potentially delaying necessary medical treatment or requiring healthcare staff to troubleshoot equipment during critical care.
