Toxicity to amniotic fluid from many brands of syringes has been reported in the past few years. Thirty amniocentesis samples were exposed to Becton-Dickinson syringes for varying lengths of time and evaluated for growth rate. Six amniocentesis samples were exposed to the syringes for prolonged peri...

Zusammenfassung:Toxicity to amniotic fluid from many brands of syringes has been reported in the past few years. Thirty amniocentesis samples were exposed to Becton-Dickinson syringes for varying lengths of time and evaluated for growth rate. Six amniocentesis samples were exposed to the syringes for prolonged periods at varying temperatures and also evaluated for growth rate. No evidence of syringe toxicity was found for exposure periods up to 24 h, regardless of storage temperature.
