Because of a change in manufacturing and rebranding, the syringes have different dimensions and were made by a new contract manufacturer.
“The dimensional changes made to the Cardinal Health Monoject syringes, when used with syringe pumps, PCA pumps or enteral syringe pumps, may result in recognition, compatibility, and pump performance issues, such as overdose, underdose, delay in therapy, delay in occlusion alarms, and delay in feeding,” the FDA said.
