Intended Use
The device is indicated for use as a dispenser, a measuring device and a fluid transfer device. It is used to deliver fluids into the body enterally. It is intended to be used in clinical or home care settings by users ranging from clinicians to laypersons (under the supervision of a clinician) for patients in all age groups.
Device Story
Sterile, piston-style enteral syringes; capacities 1-60 ml; integrated female ENFit connector. Used for dispensing, measuring, and transferring enteral fluids. Operated by clinicians or laypersons in clinical/home settings. ENFit connector design prevents misconnections to non-enteral devices; low-dose tip variant ensures accuracy for small volumes. Output is manual fluid delivery; benefits include safe, accurate enteral administration and prevention of tubing misconnections.

#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION IV.
The Enteral Syringe with ENFit Connector (10 ml to 60 ml) and the Enteral Syringe with ENFit Low Dose Tip (1 ml to 5 ml) are both sterile, standard piston style enteral syringes with an integrated female ENFit compatible connector compliant to the requirements of ISO DIS 80369-3, First Edition, Small-bore Connectors for Liquids and Gases in Healthcare Applications – Part 3: Connectors for Enteral Applications and designed to be compatible with male ENFit connectors.
The Enteral Syringe with ENFit Connector has capacities of 10, 20, 30 and 60 ml and is available in two different connector confiqurations: Centerline and Offset.
The Enteral Syringe with ENFit Low Dose Tip is a low dose syringe and has capacities of 1. 3 and 5 ml. The ENFit Lose Dose tip is a modification of the ENFit connector designed for the delivery of low doses of fluids for enteral feeding.
#### V. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The device is indicated for use as a dispenser, a measuring device and a fluid transfer device. It is used to deliver fluids into the body enterally. It is intended to be used in clinical or home care settings by users ranging from clinicians to laypersons (under the supervision of a clinician) for patients in all age groups.
#### VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
Both the subject Enteral Syringe with ENFit Connector (10 ml to 60 ml) and Enteral Syringe with ENFit Low Dose Tip (1 ml to 5 ml) devices and predicate Oral/Enteral Syringes with ENFit Connector (12 ml to 100 ml) and Low Dose Tip Oral/Enteral Syringes with ENFit Connector (0.5 ml to 6 ml) devices are a standard piston-style syringe with an integral female ENFit Connector. The ENFit Connector for both the VR Medical and NeoMed devices were designed to be compliant with ISO DIS 80369-3, First Edition, Small-bore Connectors for Liquids and Gases in Healthcare Applications – Part 3: Connectors for Enteral Applications.
Both the Enteral Syringe with ENFit Low Dose Tip (1 ml to 5 ml) and predicate Low Dose Tip Oral/Enteral Syringes with ENFit Connector (0.5 ml to 6 ml) incorporate the same ENFit low dose tip design to ensure accuracy when dispensing small volumes.
The ENFit connectors on both the subject and predicate devices are compatible only with enteral access devices or accessories having ENFit compliant or compatible male connectors to prevent misconnections to non-enteral devices. Both the subject and predicate devices are available in both sterile and non-sterile versions.
