Manufactured by Avanos Medical, Inc., this syringe is tailored for both clinical and home care settings, serving patients across all age groups, from neonatal to adult.

Key Features

• Capacity and Design: With a 60mL capacity, the syringe features a clear barrel with purple gradient markings. The major scale markings at 10mL and minor at 1mL ensure accurate measurement, while the ergonomic shape provides comfortable handling.

• ENFit Connector: Equipped with an ISO 80369-3 compliant ENFit connector, the syringe is designed to prevent misconnections with non-enteral devices, enhancing patient safety. The secure locking system includes a female Luer lock and an optional hands-free tip cap for maintaining aseptic technique.

• Material Composition: Constructed from USP Class VI medical grade polypropylene and silicone, the syringe is free from natural rubber latex, BPA, DEHP, and PVC. The biocompatible, non-toxic ink used for markings ensures clear visibility without compromising safety.

Reusability and Maintenance

As a non-sterile device, this syringe can be reused up to 40 times over 7 days for the same patient, provided it is cleaned properly. Recommended cleaning involves washing with warm soapy water, rinsing, and thorough drying. It should not be cleaned using a dishwasher, boiling water, or abrasive materials. Reuse should be discontinued if the syringe becomes damaged or markings become unclear.

Compliance and Safety

The NeoMed syringe meets rigorous safety and compliance standards, including CE marking, FDA 510(k) clearance, and ISO 13485 certification. It adheres to biocompatibility standards, ensuring it is non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing, and non-irritating.

Packaging and Storage

Typically supplied in cases of 200 units, the syringe is also available in various other packaging options. Proper storage involves keeping the syringes in a clean, dry place at room temperature, away from heat sources. Each syringe has an expiration of 5 years from the date of manufacture when packaged with tip caps.

Usage Recommendations

The syringe is not intended for drug storage and should be used under medical supervision. For certain patients, such as immunocompromised individuals or infants under 1 year, a cold sterilising solution may be used as instructed. Disposal should follow the manufacturer’s guidelines or local regulations.
