Reason for Recall
Labeling Incorrect Instructions: This recall has been initiated because the Instructions for Use included in the Epi-Safe Kits for the Epi-Safe Syringe (and/or the Safety Lok Syringe in Model 8600-01120) recommend a midpoint dosage of epinephrine for children between 0 lbs. and 66 lbs. of 0.15mL that has not been approved by FDA for children. Reliance on the current IFU and/or use of the Epi-Safe Syringe as instructed may result in the administration of an inappropriate dosage of epinephrine to young children experiencing anaphylaxis, especially those under 33 lbs. Additionally the Epi Safe syringe does not have the correct markings to allow a health care provider to draw up the correct dosage for children under 33 kg.
