I received a box of 100 10ml saline flushes nurse assist brand from edgepark medical supply company.Upon arriving the flushes could not be used because when i opened the box from manufacturer the end of the individual plastic packaging was not sealed on one end.I called edgepark and got a replacement they send another box from the same lot and again they were not usable.Called and got a third replacement box which arrived today.For the replacements i was assured they would send a different lot number and pull the remaining bad lot however it's clear they didn't because again the 3rd box was unusable.I can't trust that they are safe to use with my central line for iv medications because one end was not sealed how it should have been.I've left messages, emails, and have been told the quality control person at nurse assist would get in touch regarding the problem.It's been weeks and i can't get a hold of anyone.This lot of flushes needs to be taken off the shelves; it is not sealed, therefore no safe for use in central lines or other iv lines.
