    I just wrote a longer comment upthread, but one possible answer is drug diversion by an employee, filling the syringe and then injecting self with some of it before injecting the IV port.

      You know that seems very much a possibility. I used to work in toxicology in a hospital setting and did these sorts of work up. And I’ve seen some crazy shit with that. Here I was thinking they were being cheap and trying to reuse a certain type of connection device. But there’s no way that such a single use device would last for the time period stated. On the other hand if an employee was the source of contamination that would make way more sense.
