Sterile 3-piece general purpose syringe, 50 mL catheter tip, without needle

Description

The BD Plastipak™ 50 mL Catheter Tip Syringe (REF 300867) is a sterile, single-use, 3-piece polypropylene syringe without needle, featuring a long, tapered catheter tip with Luer adaptor. It is designed for general purpose aspiration and injection of fluids below the surface of the skin and for a wide range of non-ISO Luer applications, including irrigation, flushing catheters and gastrostomy tubes, and connecting to devices such as nasogastric tubes. The syringe has a clear barrel with bold graduations, silicone-lubricated plunger and retaining ring to help ensure smooth, controlled movement and to prevent accidental plunger withdrawal.

Bnefits

Versatile 50 mL syringe with catheter tip suitable for general purpose fluid aspiration and injection, irrigation and flushing procedures.
Long, tapered catheter tip permits attachment to non-ISO compatible devices such as catheters, gastrostomy and nasogastric tubes, and irrigation sets.
Clear polypropylene barrel provides excellent visualisation of syringe contents to support accurate dose measurement and air-bubble detection.
Bold, easy-to-read graduation scale helps improve dose accuracy during preparation and administration.
Three-piece design with latex-free stopper and silicone lubrication enables smooth, even plunger movement and precise fluid control.
Retaining ring design helps prevent accidental plunger rod withdrawal, reducing the risk of spillage and contamination.
Sterile, single-use, EO-sterilised syringe supports infection prevention when used with appropriate aseptic technique.
Latex-free and not intentionally manufactured with DEHP or PVC, reducing the risk of latex and certain plasticiser sensitivities.

Indications

General purpose aspiration and injection of fluids from vials, ampoules and parts of the body below the surface of the skin (when used with an appropriate needle or device).
Irrigation of wounds and body cavities as directed by clinical protocols.
Flushing and cleaning of urinary catheters, gastrostomy tubes, nasogastric tubes and other medical tubing compatible with catheter tips.
Connection to non-ISO Luer compatible devices requiring a tapered catheter tip interface for fluid administration or sampling.
Use as a high-capacity syringe for short-term administration of pharmaceuticals via syringe pumps when used in accordance with the relevant technical data sheet and pump manufacturer’s instructions (for perfusion configurations).

Composition

Barrel: Transparent polypropylene (PP) with printed graduation scale.
Plunger rod: Polypropylene (PP).
Plunger stopper: Synthetic rubber (latex-free) elastomer.
Lubricant: Medical-grade silicone oil on the rubber stopper for smooth plunger motion.
Tip: Polypropylene catheter tip with Luer adaptor (centric catheter tip).
Packaging materials: Paperboard cartons and paper/plastic sterile barrier materials, as specified in the BD Plastipak™ technical data sheet.
Material exclusions: Not made with natural rubber latex; not intentionally manufactured with DEHP or PVC (per BD Plastipak™ syringes technical documentation for EMEA/UK).

Formulation

Syringe capacity: 50 mL (also often described as 50/60 mL nominal volume).
Design: 3-piece syringe (barrel, plunger rod and rubber stopper).
Tip type: Centric catheter tip with Luer adaptor (tapered tip for connection to tubing and non-ISO Luer devices).
Connection: Luer slip catheter tip for push-fit connections; not a Luer-Lok™ syringe.
Scale: Bold printed graduations on clear barrel for accurate volume measurement.
Use configuration: Supplied without needle; compatible with appropriate needle or connector where required.
Sterility: Sterile, single-use; sterilised by ethylene oxide (EO).
Latex status: Stopper and components are latex-free.
General properties: Leak-tight, smooth and controlled plunger glide, retaining ring to prevent accidental plunger withdrawal, clear barrel for content visualisation.

Packaging

Each syringe is individually packaged in a sterile blister or peel-open pack, labelled with product code, volume, lot number and expiry date.
Box (shelf pack): 60 sterile, single-use BD Plastipak™ 50 mL Catheter Tip Syringes (REF 300867).
Case: Typically 240 syringes (4 boxes of 60), depending on distributor configuration.
Sales unit references: Commonly sold as ‘Box of 60’ for hospital and clinical use.
Product identifiers: Manufacturer code 300867; additional GTINs and distributor codes as per regional labelling.

Usage

Use only if trained in appropriate syringe handling, irrigation and catheter-care techniques, and follow local clinical protocols.
Before use, inspect the individual sterile pack; do not use if the packaging is damaged, opened or if the product is past its expiry date.
Open the sterile pack using aseptic technique and remove the syringe without contaminating the catheter tip or internal components.
If drawing up medication, connect the catheter tip (with a suitable adaptor if required) to the vial, ampoule or fluid source, withdraw the plunger to aspirate the required volume and remove air bubbles according to institutional guidelines.
For irrigation or flushing, fill the syringe with the prescribed irrigation solution and attach the catheter tip directly to the catheter, tube or device (e.g., urinary catheter, gastrostomy tube, nasogastric tube) ensuring a secure connection.
Depress the plunger slowly and steadily to administer fluid, maintaining control to avoid excessive pressure that could damage tissues or devices.
After completing the procedure, disconnect the syringe from the device or tubing carefully to avoid spillage.
Dispose of the used syringe immediately in accordance with local regulations and institutional policies; do not attempt to clean, reuse or resterilise the syringe.
When used with syringe pumps or other devices, follow both the BD technical data sheet and the device manufacturer’s instructions regarding compatibility, setup and maximum pressures.
Always follow applicable infection prevention guidance, including hand hygiene and use of personal protective equipment where indicated.

Contraindications

Do not use if the sterile barrier packaging is opened, damaged or visibly compromised.
Not intended for use as an implanted device or for long-term indwelling applications.
Not intended to be used with incompatible solvents or chemicals that may degrade polypropylene or rubber components; consult relevant compatibility information before use with non-standard solutions.
Do not use in patients or settings where catheter-tip connections are not appropriate or where a secure Luer-Lok™ connection is specifically required (e.g., certain high-pressure intravenous applications).
Do not reuse, reprocess or resterilise; reuse may lead to infection, device malfunction or inaccurate dosing.
Avoid use in individuals with known hypersensitivity to materials used in the syringe if such sensitivities are clinically relevant, even though the syringe is latex-free and not intentionally manufactured with DEHP or PVC.

Adverse Effects

If misused or connected improperly, potential for fluid leakage or disconnection, which could compromise therapy or cause spillage.
Excessive pressure during irrigation or flushing could cause patient discomfort, tissue trauma or device damage.
Risk of contamination and subsequent infection if aseptic technique is not followed or if the syringe is reused contrary to instructions.
Very rare risk of local or systemic reactions related to material sensitivity, although components are latex-free and not intentionally manufactured with DEHP or PVC.
Potential medication dosing errors if syringe graduations are misread or if inappropriate syringe size is selected for the required volume.

Storage Conditions

Store in original, unopened packaging until point of use to maintain sterility and protect from contamination.
Keep in a clean, dry environment away from excessive moisture, dust and direct sunlight.
Store at normal room temperatures within the range specified on the outer packaging; avoid extreme heat or cold that could compromise packaging or material integrity.
Do not stack or compress cartons in a way that could damage the syringes or their sterile barriers.
Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

Duration

Single-use device intended for one procedure or preparation episode only (e.g., one irrigation, one flush, one aspiration/injection). Overall treatment duration is determined by the underlying therapy and clinical protocol, not by the syringe itself.

Onset

Not directly applicable to the syringe; it provides an immediate means of fluid delivery or aspiration once in use. Clinical onset of effect depends on the fluid or medication being administered and the route of administration.
