Description

The Medicina Reusable Enteral Syringe is a versatile medical device designed for the precise administration of enteral feeds and medications across a wide range of patient needs, from neonatal to adult care. Its compatibility with ENFit connections, compliant with ISO 80369-3 standards, ensures secure and accurate delivery by preventing misconnections with non-enteral devices.

Key Features

• Reusable Design: Crafted for single-patient reuse, this syringe can be effectively used for up to 7 days or 40 washes. Its durable construction includes a three-piece design with a barrel, plunger, and a silicone gasket, all made from polypropylene. The materials are DEHP and latex-free, enhancing patient safety.

• Clear Identification: The syringe’s purple color provides easy identification for enteral use, while the clear graduated markings on the barrel allow for precise dosing. Available in various sizes, including low dose options of 1ml and 2.5ml, it caters to specific dosing requirements.

• Secure Connection: The ENFit locking feature requires only a quarter turn to connect, ensuring a secure fit and reducing the risk of leaks or disconnections. This feature is particularly beneficial in clinical and home settings where reliable performance is crucial.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning is essential for maintaining the syringe’s functionality. It should be cleaned immediately after use with warm soapy water, with the barrel and plunger separated for thorough cleaning. Rinsing and drying should be done carefully, and storage should be in a clean, dry container.

For certain patients, such as those under 1 year old or immunocompromised individuals, a cold sterilising solution may be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The syringe should not be cleaned with boiling water, dishwashers, or abrasive materials to preserve its integrity and markings.

Disposal Instructions

The syringe should be discarded as household non-recyclable waste after its maximum usage period or if any damage occurs. It is intended for single-patient use only and should not be reused for different types of fluids. Compatible caps are available separately, and the expiry date is clearly indicated on the product label.

This comprehensive design and careful adherence to usage instructions make the Medicina Reusable Enteral Syringe a reliable choice for healthcare providers and patients managing enteral feeding and medication needs at home.
