Manufacturers
It is possible and there are a couple of prefilled
manufacturers that already have saline in sterile syringes. Lynn

I would guess that a good number of manufacturers
would jump on this part of the 2006 JACHO safety goals. Our PICC
insertion kit has vials of Lidocaine & preservative free
saline. Is it even possible to manufacture these in sterile
syringes, i.e. ones that can be thrown out on a sterile field or ones that
are prepackaged in the insertion kits? I seem to remember someone telling
me that they can't, & I don't remember why. Does it have to
do with the preservative free part? If it is not possible to
manufacture these, what about sterile labels or tape with Lidocaine or
preservative free 0.9% saline already typed on them in the insertions
kits?
