#### Device Description:
Hu-Friedy dental cartridge syringes are made from chrome-plated brass and stainless steel. Syringes are reusable, sterilizable and packaged non-sterile.
### Intended Use:
These devices are intended for use by dental professionals only. The devices are indicated to be used in conjunction with anesthetic needles and anesthetic cartridges for injection of anesthetic solutions in the oral cavity.
### Technological Characteristics:
Hu-Friedy will offer 2 patterns of syringes, the CW type cartridge syringe and the A type cartridge syringe. Both patterns of cartridge syringe are compatible with a standard 1.8ml anesthetic vial. According to ISO 9997: 1999, both patterns are classified as type 2a- aspiration by force produced by drawing the plunger away from the needle. The needle mounting threads for both patterns are available in standard imperial threads.
#### Performance Characteristics:
Results of in-house testing with Hu-Friedy dental cartridge syringes demonstrated that they performed within recommended specifications of the applicable clauses of ISO 9997-Dental Cartridge Syringes, ISO 11499-Dental Cartridges for Local Anesthetics and ISO 13402-Surgical and Dental Hand Instruments. Verification criteria included loading of cartridges, plunger rod testing, plunger movement testing, aspiration testing and corrosion testing.
In addition, Hu-Friedy successfully completed an outside laboratory qualification study of the proposed steam sterilization cycles. The resulting recommended instructions to dental facilities for routine sterilization of the reusable dental syringes conform to ANSI/AAMI ST79. Predicate Device:
