Definition
A sterile device consisting of a calibrated barrel with plunger intended to be used for injection/withdrawal of fluids (e.g. medication) to/from a medical device or the body. At the distal end of the barrel is a male Luer connector for the attachment of the female connector (hub) of a hypodermic needle or an administration set.
Specifications
Quality standards
Technical specifications
- BARREL: the reservoir for holding the liquid
- transparent polypropylene / polyisoprene
- capacity: 1 ml, 2 ml, 5 ml, 10 ml, 20 ml and 50-60 ml
- scale markings are etched or printed on the barrel: in millilitres, easily readable
- graduations: every 0.01 ml (1 ml syringe), every 0.1 ml (2 ml syringe), every 0.2 ml (5 ml syringe), every 0.5 ml (10 ml syringe) or every 1 ml (20 and 50 ml syringe)
- with flanges: "wings" that jut out from the side of the syringe barrel. they provide an area or surface for the index finger and the middle finger to grasp during aspiration or administration.
- with retaining ring (plunger backstop) to prevent accidental plunger rod withdrawal
- ending with a male Luer tip: slip or push-on connection for a needle
- PLUNGER: a piston-like device inside the barrel, designed for single-handed operation
- polypropylene, polyethylene
- perfectly fit to slide easily and smoothly inside the barrel
- with thumb press: an area where one presses to push the plunger rod down into the barrel to expel contents.
- plunger tip: the three part syringes end in a synthetic elastomer plunger tip or gasket, flat or dome shaped. This tip assures a perfect plunger barrel seal integrity and a flawless gliding behaviour. The gasket may be double-contact.
- Sterile, for single use
Note: the 1 ml and 50/60 ml syringes are mostly 3-part syringes (including a gasket), the 2 ml, 5 ml, 10 ml and 20 ml syringes are also available as two-part syringes (without gasket). The barrel material of these two-part syringes often contains a lubricant allowing a smooth advancement of the plunger without the need of a rubber ring.

Instructions for use
Single use syringes must be prepared immediately prior to injections since injectable preparations may contain solvents that corrode plastic (e.g. melarsoprol).
