Description

The VanishPoint® Syringe Retractable, manufactured by Retractable Technologies, Inc., is a highly specialized safety syringe designed to enhance healthcare safety and efficiency. As a Class II medical device, it is intended for professional use in clinical and hospital environments, providing a reliable solution for the safe injection of medication and withdrawal of blood.

Key Features

• Automatic Needle Retraction: The syringe features an innovative automated safety mechanism that retracts the needle into the syringe barrel immediately after use. This is activated by fully depressing the plunger, significantly reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries and preventing syringe reuse.

• Single-Handed Operation: The passive activation of the needle retraction allows for single-handed use, making it convenient and easy to operate with minimal training.

• Integrated Needle Design: The non-removable stainless steel needle with a tri-beveled tip ensures precision, while the clear polypropylene barrel allows for accurate medication measurement.

• Sterile and Latex-Free: Each syringe is sterile, non-toxic, non-pyrogenic, and not made with natural rubber latex, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of medical applications.

Variants and Sizes

The VanishPoint® Syringe is available in multiple volumes, including 0.5 mL, 1 mL, 3 mL, 5 mL, and 10 mL. Needle gauges range from 20G to 27G, with various needle lengths to suit different medical needs. Low Dead Space variants are also available, minimizing residual medication.

Intended Use

This syringe is suitable for subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous applications, making it ideal for general purposes, immunizations, insulin administration, and TB skin testing. It is designed to be used with aseptic techniques, and after use, should be disposed of in a sharps container without recapping.

Regulatory Compliance

The VanishPoint® Syringe complies with several voluntary standards, including ISO6009, ISO7864, and others, and is cleared under FDA 510(k). It is restricted to sale by or on the order of a physician, ensuring it is used in appropriate healthcare settings.

Safety and Maintenance

As a single-use device, the syringe should not be reused. If the retraction mechanism fails, it should be discarded immediately according to institutional protocols. This design ensures that healthcare professionals and patients are protected from potential cross-contamination and needlestick injuries, fostering a safer medical environment.
