AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

The Piston Syringes are classified as Syringes, Piston Type under FDA nomenclature. These devices are designed for the precise aspiration, measurement, and delivery of liquids, commonly used in clinical settings for tasks such as blood collection, medication administration, or fluid transfer. Their piston-driven mechanism ensures accurate volume control, making them suitable for procedures requiring precision dosing or sample integrity.

These syringes are intended for single-use in clinical environments, including hospitals and diagnostic laboratories. They are supplied sterile and packaged individually for aseptic handling. The product code FMI categorizes them under the FDA’s General Hospital advisory committee, with clearance granted under a Traditional 510(k) pathway. No additional regulatory markings or MRI safety classifications are specified in the available data.
