2-piece disposable syringe, 5 mL, eccentric Luer slip, without needle

Description

The BD Discardit™ II 5 mL Eccentric Tip Syringe (REF 309050) is a sterile, single-use, latex-free, 2-piece syringe without needle intended for injection and/or aspiration of medical fluids, including bodily fluids (e.g. blood) and drugs. It consists of a clear polypropylene barrel and a polyethylene plunger rod, with an amide lubricant incorporated into the barrel material to provide smooth plunger movement without a rubber stopper. The syringe features an eccentric Luer slip tip that allows low-angle injections close to the skin, a clear, easy-to-read graduation scale (0.2 mL) and finger flanges designed to improve stability and comfort during injection. It is CE-marked as a Class I sterile measuring device and supplied in boxes of 100 syringes.

Bnefits

  • Medical single-use syringe specifically intended for both injection and aspiration of medical fluids, including bodily fluids and drugs.
  • 2-piece design (barrel and plunger) with lubricant incorporated into the barrel material provides smooth plunger movement and reduced sliding force without the need for a rubber stopper.
  • Clear and transparent barrel ensures excellent visualisation of syringe contents for accurate fluid measurement and dosing.
  • Accurate, wipe-resistant graduation scale (0.2 mL increments on the 5 mL size) supports precise dosing and easy reading.
  • Eccentric Luer slip tip enables lower angle injections in close proximity to the skin, improving access for certain anatomical sites and procedures.
  • Finger grip flanges are shaped to enhance stability and user comfort during injection or aspiration procedures.
  • Retaining ring at the end of the barrel helps prevent accidental plunger rod withdrawal, reducing the risk of spills and loss of sterility (as described for Discardit II range).
  • Latex-, PVC- and DEHP-free construction reduces exposure to these materials for sensitive patients and staff.
  • Sterile, single-use, EO-sterilised device supports infection prevention when used with appropriate aseptic technique.
  • Syringes are tested during manufacture in compliance with ISO 7886-1 to ensure leak-tightness and performance.

Indications

  • Injection and/or aspiration of medical fluids, including bodily fluids (e.g. blood) and medicinal products, from vials, ampoules, and parts of the body below the surface of the skin when used with an appropriate needle or device.
  • General purpose use as a measuring syringe for preparation, transfer and administration of small volumes of fluids (up to 5 mL) in medical and laboratory settings.
  • Use in routine clinical procedures where a 5 mL syringe with eccentric Luer slip connection is appropriate and a 2-piece syringe without rubber stopper is preferred.
  • Single-use applications in hospitals, clinics, GP surgeries, laboratories and other healthcare environments where sterile disposable syringes are required.

Usage

  • Use only by trained personnel familiar with syringe handling, injection and aspiration techniques, and local clinical protocols.
  • Before use, check the individual sterile package for damage, integrity of the sterile barrier and clear legibility of product information; do not use if the pack is opened, damaged or past the expiry date.
  • Open the unit pack aseptically and remove the syringe, taking care not to touch or contaminate the Luer slip tip or internal surfaces.
  • Attach an appropriate sterile needle or device to the eccentric Luer slip tip by pushing onto the taper and twisting to ensure a secure friction-fit connection.
  • When drawing up fluids, pull the plunger back smoothly to aspirate the required volume, verifying the dose against the graduation scale and removing air bubbles according to local procedures.
  • For injection, expel any air, position the needle or device according to the clinical technique required, and depress the plunger at a controlled rate to deliver the medication or fluid.
  • For aspiration of bodily fluids, apply negative pressure via the plunger while ensuring the needle or device remains correctly positioned, then remove the device safely when the procedure is complete.
  • Do not use with syringe pumps, as specified by multiple distributors and technical descriptions (manual use only).
  • After use, activate any needle safety features where applicable and dispose of the syringe (and needle) immediately in accordance with local sharps and clinical waste regulations.
  • Do not attempt to clean, reprocess or resterilise; the syringe is intended strictly for single use.
  • Always follow applicable institutional policies, the BD Discardit™ II technical data sheet and any national guidelines for safe injection and aspiration practices.

Contraindications

  • Do not use if the sterile packaging is broken, opened, damaged or shows any sign of compromise.
  • Do not reuse, reprocess or resterilise; reuse may lead to infection, loss of performance or inaccurate dosing.
  • Not suitable for use with syringe pumps; the product is specified for manual use only.
  • Do not use with fluids or solvents that are known to be incompatible with polypropylene or polyethylene; verify compatibility before use with non-standard solutions.
  • Do not use in patients or settings where an alternative connector (e.g. Luer-Lok) is specifically required for safety or pressure-related reasons.
