Enbrel syringe assembly problem warning
Enbrel syringe assembly problem warning -- Posted by ray on 06-20-04 12:33
Both this Sunday and last Sunday, I've had the hub on the syringe
that the needle screws into, come off the shaft. Last Sunday, I
didn't see the problem until the Enbrel leaked out when I started
the shot. Today, I saw the problem happen. When I screwed the needle
into the hub, the hub pulled up on the little shaft away from main
barrel. In both cases, I removed the needle and pushed down on
the hub until I heard a click. Then you could screw the needle in
as tight as you want without the hub coming off.
Apparently, I've had hubs that weren't pushed all the way on at
the factory, from two different lots. Has anybody else had this
problem?

I would recommend letting the company know there is a problem...
especially if you still have the lot numbers.
I buy empty syringes and almost always have to screw the two parts
tighter together. However, I wouldn't expect that with a syringe that
comes pre-filled as you are using.

I haven't had any problem as yet--hope that is the last of yours---but tell
the company--they should investigate it--Alix

As the others say, tell the company about this.
Unfortunately, quality control doesn't seem to exist any more, so
you should probably inspect every thing important, just to make
sure...

Tobacco comes from the leaves of the tobacco plant. It contains a drug called
