BD Plastipak Syringe

The BD Plastipak™ Syringe is primarily designed for precise liquid measurement and administration in clinical settings, such as injections, infusions, or sample collection. Its single-use, sterile construction makes it suitable for general hospital environments where controlled fluid displacement is required, like administering medications, drawing blood, or preparing intravenous solutions.

The BD Plastipak™ Syringe is explicitly labeled as a sterile, single-use device, meaning it is intended for one-time use only. Reusing it could compromise sterility and patient safety, so adherence to single-use guidelines is critical.

The BD Plastipak™ Syringe is available in multiple sizes, including a 3 mL model (as referenced in the data). The appropriate size depends on the volume of liquid being administered or collected—smaller syringes (like 3 mL) are ideal for precise dosing (e.g., insulin or vaccines), while larger sizes may be used for infusions or sample collection. Always match the syringe size to the clinical procedure requirements.

Storage of the BD Plastipak™ Syringe requires protection from contamination and extreme temperatures to preserve sterility and functionality. Follow manufacturer guidelines, which likely include keeping it in a sealed, clean environment away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Avoid storing in humid or dirty areas to prevent degradation or microbial growth.

The BD Plastipak™ Syringe received FDA clearance via a 510(k) submission (K251350), classified under the General Hospital advisory committee (HO). The device was determined to be substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate, following a traditional review process. This clearance confirms its compliance with FDA standards for plastic syringes (product code FMF).
