Date
The LifeShield® dextrose 50% x 50 mL pre-filled syringe (PFS) products from Pfizer® are on backorder with an expected resupply date of late September 2019. The alternate needle-less product is now on backorder as well; however, NH has approximately 7 weeks of PFS stock with conservation measures.
Further information and practice implications
The LifeShield® and Ansyr® dextrose 50% pre-filled syringe (PFS) products from Pfizer® are now both on backorder. In order to conserve the PFS for crash carts and hypoglycemia kits, the dextrose 50% X 50 mL vials will be supplied to all wardstock locations.
