FDA Safety Communication update: Evaluating plastic syringes made in China for potential device failures

In its August 16^th update, the FDA recommendations have not changed. It recommends the following:

• Use syringes not manufactured in China, if possible. At this time, glass syringes, pre-filled syringes, or syringes used for topical purposes are not included.
• If you only have syringes manufactured in China, then continue to use them as needed until you are able to use alternative syringes and closely monitor for leaks, breakage, and other problems.
