Oral dosing syringes

Description

Precision Purple Oral Syringes 5ml are reusable, CE-marked, latex-free oral dosing syringes designed for accurate administration of liquid medicines. Supplied in a box of 50 syringes, each with a purple barrel (as recommended by the National Patient Safety Agency) to clearly distinguish them from intravenous or enteral syringes. The syringes include a bung to fit medicine bottles and an illustrated instruction booklet, feature 0.02 ml graduations for precise measurement, and a tipped plunger that clears the whole barrel so the full dose is delivered. They are washable, dishwasher safe and suitable for use across all age groups, especially children.

Usage

Use only for oral administration of liquid medicines; do not use for intravenous, enteral or injection purposes.
Before first use, wash the syringe components (barrel and plunger) in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher as recommended, then rinse and dry.
Fit the supplied bung or appropriate bottle adapter firmly into the neck of the medicine bottle if required.
Insert the syringe tip securely into the bung to avoid leaks, then invert or tilt the bottle so the tip is submerged in the liquid.
Gently pull back the plunger to draw the required dose, using the 0.02 ml graduations to measure at eye level.
Remove any air bubbles by tapping the syringe and gently expelling air, then re-draw medicine to the correct graduation if needed.
Place the tip of the syringe carefully into the patient’s mouth (towards the side of the cheek) and depress the plunger slowly to administer the dose.
After use, pull the plunger fully out of the barrel, wash both parts with warm water (and detergent if needed), rinse and allow to dry thoroughly before reuse.
Do not share syringes between different patients; dedicate a syringe to a single patient where infection control policies require it.
Inspect regularly for damage, stiffness or faded graduations and replace if any defect is noted.

Contraindications

Not for parenteral (intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous) or enteral feeding use.
Do not use if components are cracked, warped, discoloured or if graduations have become illegible.
Do not use in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the syringe materials, although the device is latex-free.
Do not use for measuring or administering substances outside the recommended temperature or chemical compatibility of medical-grade plastic (e.g., highly corrosive or solvent-based liquids).

Adverse Effects

When used correctly as an oral dosing device, no direct adverse effects are expected.
Incorrect technique (e.g., squirting medicine too quickly towards the back of the throat) may increase risk of coughing or choking, particularly in young children.
Use of a damaged or contaminated syringe may increase risk of inaccurate dosing or cross-infection if shared between patients.

Storage Conditions

Store clean, dry syringes in a closed container or drawer away from dust and contaminants.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive heat that may degrade plastic components or printed graduations.
Ensure syringes are fully dry before storage to minimise microbial growth.
Keep out of reach of children when not in supervised use.
Follow local infection-control policies regarding maximum recommended reuse period or replacement frequency.

Duration

Not applicable; the syringe is a reusable administration device and may be used for each prescribed oral dose as directed by a healthcare professional for as long as it remains in good condition.
