The piston syringe is a device intended for medical purposes, consisting of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger. At one end of the barrel there is a male Luer Slip /lock connector (nozzle) for attaching the female Luer connector (hub) of a hypodermic single lumen needle, or for attaching other devices with a female Luer. The syringe is sterilized by EtO gas and is labeled Non-Pyrogenic. The device is intended for single use only.
A sterile device consisting of a calibrated barrel (cylinder) with plunger intended to be used for injection/withdrawal of fluids/gas (e.g., medication) to/from a medical device or the body (i.e., capable of both); a needle is not included. It is intended for various medical applications and is not dedicated to medication administration. At the distal end of the barrel is a male connector (typically Luer-lock/slip type) for the attachment to a hypodermic needle or an administration set. It is typically made of plastic and silicone materials and may have anti-stick plunger allowing smooth plunger movement, either manually or by a syringe pump. This is a single-use device.
