Needle-free intravenous connectors

Posted by MHRA on 16-August-2011

The MHRA issued MDA/2004/005 in January 2004 to raise awareness of incompatibility between some needle-free connectors and Luer tips of pre-filled syringes.

The MHRA continues to receive reports of damage to the needle-free connector and/or to the pre-filled syringe where force has been used to connect incompatible devices together. In some cases fragmentsmay block the syringe outflow. Such damage has resulted in a delay in administering therapy during the resuscitation of patients.
