Reason
If used with a pump, the Cardinal Health brand Monoject™ sterile syringe may not be recognized by the pump and may result in delay of treatment or therapy. Conversely, if the syringe is recognized by pumps, it may result in volume and/or infusion rate discrepancies, which can lead to over- or under-infusion. While we have not received any reports of patient death for impacted syringes, there is a potential risk of serious injury or death.
