Event Description

The customer reported that the plungers get stuck during injections and they are having to discard the entire syringe.There was no patient injury.Additional information provided on april 13, 2021 stated that they were referred by both medline and cardinal health to use these syringes when bd discontinued the syringes they were previously using when doing fat grafting.The doctor was willing to give these a try as they were told by both companies that these would be a suitable replacement but when using them, the black rubber stopper would turn sideways when pushing the plunger forward.They tried using cannulas to reach up inside the back end of the syringe to straighten the stopper again but it was not working well.They wasted tons of fat they had worked hard to retrieve because of the issue.
