While the FDA has identified potentially serious risks associated with use of the ENFit LDT syringe, the authority is not calling for a recall at this time. At the time the safety communication was issued, the FDA had received no reports of patient injury associated with the use of said syringes.

While the FDA notes that the moat surrounding the syringe can be filled with—and accidentally dispense—excess medication, the authority explains that this may be more likely to occur if you're using a medicine cup, like those that frequently accompany bottles of orally-administered medications.

To help prevent excess medication from being administered, which may increase the risk of overdose, the FDA recommends using a new, clean syringe to properly flush out the syringe you used to take your medication directly after its administration.

The FDA's safety communication was issued after it was discovered that the ENFit low dose tip syringes could potentially deliver an excess dosage of medication to users. In fact, a 2020 study published in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics found that use of the ENFit LDT syringes caused a dosing variance that exceeded acceptable limits. "Enteral and oral application of LDT syringes yield unacceptably high rates of dosing variance for high risk medications," the study's authors found.

In mid-October, the FDA issued a safety communication for ENFit low dose tip (LDT) syringes. The syringes, which are typically to deliver medication via the mouth or gastrointestinal tract (as in the case of a feeding tube) or as a means of dispensing, measuring, and transferring fluids, are made by multiple manufacturers, and distributed to consumers in multiple locations.

The affected syringes come in sizes that run the gamut from 0.5 mL. to 6 mL. and are comprised of a gasket, plunger, barrel, and low-dose tip.

The medication's super potency could lead to users developing Lidocaine toxicity, a potentially serious condition that can result in major health problems.

This may include "excitation and/or depression and more serious signs of cardiovascular toxicity, such as bradycardia, hypotension, and even cardiovascular collapse," and may even lead to death, the recall notice warns. These symptoms are more likely to occur in children and the elderly, but may affect others, as well. At the time the recall was announced, the company had received no reports of illness or injury related to the use of the recalled Lidocaine.
