BD PosiFlush XS 10 mL

Reason

10ml PosiFlush SF product has been identified as having slits in the bottom web material. Most failures observed occurred near the tip cap end, but a few were also found near the plunger rod end. This leads to product with a compromised sterility issue. It is important to note that the sterile fluid path of the syringe does not appear to be compromised, only the syringe exterior.
