Important Safety Information

This device is strictly for single-use only. Do not attempt to re-use or re-sterilize, as this increases the risk of cross-contamination and may result in mechanical failure or loss of the precision sensitivity required for safe procedure execution. Do not use for any application other than those for which the device is specifically indicated.
Before use, always confirm the plunger moves freely and check for any chips or cracks in the glass. Visual and tactile confirmation of the loss of resistance is required for proper placement; any resistance or drag caused by a damaged syringe could lead to a false positive or accidental dural puncture. Do not use if the individual sterile packaging is damaged or opened prior to use. Always dispose of the glass device in an approved sharps or puncture-resistant container immediately after use according to facility protocol.
