Operating room staff were attempting to draw up "marcaine" for use in an or case, when they looked into the syringe they had drawn up in medication and noticed something dark colored floating around.Staff investigated, and it appears the dark pieces floating around are pieces of the rubber seal that is punctured when medication is drawn up.It appears to have happened with numerous bottles.This poses a danger to the patient if the rubber pieces made it into the patient via the medication and syringe.I am unsure of the manufacturer of the bottle, just who the manufacturer of the medication is.There is minimal information on the medication bottles about udi# and other identifying numbers.
