BD Syringes

---

The BD Enteral Syringe has everything you need to help you safely deliver nourishment and oral medications.  And there is no need to pay for costly syringe pump softward upgrades. The BD Enteral Syringe has four major benefits:

• Amber-colored plunger rod eases oral delivery in low-light conditions and provides contrast between medicine and barrel
• Clear barrel provides simple view of medication
• Bold print makes reading scale markings easy
• Non-luer compatible BD UniVia™ connection designed to reduce risk of tubing set misconnection

Oral Syringes are used for administering liquid medicine that is hard to measure using a normal medicine spoon. An Oral Syringe is a measuring device used to accurately measure small doses of liquid medicine, which are then given to the patient by mouth. Two Oral Syringes to select from--CLEAR and AMBER. Features easy-to-read scale markings in both milliliters and teaspoon scale for accuracy to reduce the risk of medication dosing or administrative error. Both syringe types come with a tip cap.

Obtain important information regarding the industry-wide ENFit™ connector

As you may be aware, the ISO is in the process of finalizing part 3 of the ISO 80369 series entitled Small-bored connectors for liquids and gases in health care applications — Part 3: Connectors for enteral applications. This standard specifies the dimensions and recommendations for the design and functional performance of small-bore connectors for enteral use. The design of the enteral connector has been designated as ENFit, by the Global Enteral Device Supplier Association (GEDSA).

Recently, there have been concerns expressed by some related to the use of the new industry-wide ISO standard ENFit connector. Until a solution to these low-dose medication concerns is reached, BD will continue to supply the BD UniVia™ oral/enteral nonluer syringes to hospitals around the world. These products do not connect to luer devices and comply with U.S. medical device regulations.

Contact your local BD representative should you have any questions regarding this matter.
