Subject: Dextrose 50% 25 g/50 mL Syringe Backorder - **UPDATE 3/17/22**
We have nearly exhausted our supply of boxed dextrose 50% 25 g/50 mL prefilled syringes.
Beginning today.....
Pyxis - HH Main Only (updated plan)
- ALL boxed dextrose syringes have been removed from Main Pyxis devices and the Main carousel. These have been sequestered in the Kit Check area for use in PEDs code trays and RPh code bags.
- PSP prepared REFRIGERATED dextrose 50% 25 g/50 mL syringes have been loaded in high-use areas only (EDPOD A & D, 4MST 1 & 2, 6NE, 6NW).
- We have a limited number of dextrose 50% 25 g/50 mL vials that have been loaded by request in select areas (2ST-ANES, ANESTHESIA, AS-OR-6, CATHTEE, ENDO-MAIN, OPMED-C, OR-1, OR-2, PAINCTR-2, ST-ANES). Low use is expected.
- All other areas at HH Main will continue to obtain dextrose syringes directly from PSP as they have been doing.
ADULT CODE TRAYS - HH Main and HHWC (no changes to existing plan)
- Dextrose 50% 25 g/50 mL syringes will be replaced with dextrose 10% 250 mL bags labeled to indicate that they are equivalent to a dextrose 50 % 25 g/50 mL syringe.
Pharmacist Code Bags - No changes at this time. Each bag will still contain 1 boxed dextrose syringe.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
