Lpn drew up rocephin and immediately noted the syringe to have fluid behind the plunger prior to injection.Lpn then had an additional failure in the same lot number and was able to replicate the problem with up to 3 syringes.There was no patient contact with defective syringes.All other syringes by same lot number isolated.Interpretation by practice manager: it appears the plunger turns sideways just a little bit, allowing fluid to escape behind the plunger into the barrel of the syringe above the plunger.Manufacturer response for syringe, 3ml bd syringe-leur lock (per site reporter).A voice mail was left with bd customer service regarding product complaint.Defective product is to be sent back to manufacturer via ups 2nd day air.
