• Health care professionals use IV flush syringes to clear
out patients’ catheters and intravenous lines to ensure
the tubes are sterile. Nurse Assist, a Texas-based
medical device manufacturer, recalled all of its Normal
Saline IV Flush Syringes in 2016 after the devices
spread a bacterial infection. Patients became sick and
some died. How the syringes became contaminated with
the bacteria Burkholderia cepacia remains unknown.
