 Basis for the Design: The main purpose is to protect the safety of healthcare personnel
from accident needle sticks and to match the present healthcare practices to allow for simple intuitive use.
- The needle coupler/adapter and the barrel have a secure locking mechanism preventing shifting or dislodgment of the needle during withdrawal of medication or during
the injection of the medication.
- The force needed to release the needle coupler/adapter is nominal, thereby lightening the physical burden on the healthcare personnel and allowing easy usage.
- The inclined needle function allows for clear and definite destruction of the needle.
- Simplicity of use prevents mistakes and waste of medical resources.
- Under any and all circumstances, the syringe is safe and effective, and completely complies with all necessary FDA criteria set out in the Medical Equipment Safety
Criteria.
