  • Reason
    Accuracy of infusion with a syringe varies widely depending on the medication and stiction between the barrel and plunger of individual syringes. the effects of the variables have made the accuracy difficult to evaluate as each condition produces differing effects from the syringe variables. thereforezevex is not confident in providing accuracy percentages for syringes as they may be misleading if the application conditions are also considered. as a result the labeling will be modified to indicate the accuracy of delivery from a syringe cannot be guaranteed.
