Device consists of polypropylene barrel and plunger, natural rubber gasket, and stainless steel needle (optional). Available with luer-lock or slip-lock nozzle. Operated by clinicians or patients to draw and deliver liquid medication. Provides standard manual fluid delivery mechanism. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Testing included water extract appearance, transmittance, pH levels, heavy metals, fluid incompatibility, silicone lubricant quantity, USP XXII intravenous injection, intracutaneous, and pyrogen tests. Additional performance testing included sterility, air leakage (aspiration and compression), dead space, and package integrity (air leak and blister package tests). ## Technological Characteristics Materials: Polypropylene (barrel/plunger), natural rubber (gasket), stainless steel (needle). Design: Piston syringe with luer-lock or slip-lock nozzle. Sterilization: Sterile disposable. 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 - Mediplas Marketing SDN BHD MDP Disposable Syringes - Becton Dickinson Brand Disposable Syringes ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
