Aurum Pre-filled Syringes Phased Introduction Of New 10ml Connect Syringe Barrel: Importance Of Selecting Compatible Needle-free Connectors To Minimise The Risk Of Syringe Blockage (dsi/2025/02)
Summary Aurum pre-filled syringes are being updated with a new 10ml barrel design, but the old and new barrels are not compatible with the same needle-free connectors. Healthcare professionals in the UK need to use the correct connector for whichever barrel version they have, as using an incompatible connector could block the syringe and delay delivery of emergency medication.
- Reason
- Due to a phased introduction of the new 10ml CONNECT barrel design for the Aurum pre-filled syringes, the range of compatible needle free connectors (NFCs) differs between the established syringe barrel and the new syringe barrel. It is vital that healthcare professionals use compatible NFCs with Aurum pre-filled syringes to prevent delays to delivery of emergency medication.
