It consists of a Y-connector, three spray tips, and a plunger cap. The device functions by enabling the simultaneous delivery of two separate fluids or solutions to a specific surgical site. It is operated by a clinician during surgical procedures to apply liquids. The device is substantially equivalent to the DuoFlo Dispenser Kit, sharing similar operating principles, component shapes, dimensions, and materials. It provides a mechanical means for fluid application, assisting the surgeon in the controlled delivery of surgical solutions. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only; no clinical data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Manual piston syringe-based delivery system. Components include Y-connector, spray tips, and plunger cap. Operates via manual mechanical actuation. No software or electronic components. ## Regulatory Identification A piston syringe is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger. At one end of the barrel there is a male connector (nozzle) for fitting the female connector (hub) of a hypodermic single lumen needle. The device is used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body. ## Predicate Devices - DuoFlo™ Dispenser Kit ([K872526](/device/K872526.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
