Description

This is a specialized 1 ml syringe used for delivering high-precision doses of medication or nutrition to neonatal or pediatric patients via a feeding tube.

Technical Specifications

  • Model Number: SYR-01S

  • Volume: 1 mL

  • Tip Type: Low-Dose Tip (LDT) (designed to minimize dead space and ensure accurate dosing for small volumes)

  • Sterility: Sterile (Individually blister packaged)

  • Materials: Polypropylene barrel, purple plunger for easy identification as "enteral-only"

  • Safety: Not made with natural rubber latex, BPA-free, and DEHP-free


Key Features

  • Dosing Accuracy: The Low-Dose Tip is specifically engineered to address concerns about volume displacement in standard ENFit connectors. It ensures that the patient receives the exact prescribed dose (within +/- 10%), which is critical in neonatal intensive care (NICU) settings.

  • Misconnection Prevention: Because it uses the ENFit safety standard, it cannot be connected to intravenous (IV) lines, luer-lock ports, or other non-enteral systems, significantly reducing the risk of medical errors.

  • Visual Clarity: The clear barrel features high-contrast black graduation markings (typically in 0.01 mL increments) to allow for precise measurement of very small amounts of liquid medication.

  • Purple Plunger: Following international color-coding standards, the purple plunger immediately alerts healthcare staff that the syringe is for enteral use only.


Usage Context

The 1 mL size is the smallest in the Avanos syringe line. It is primarily used for:

  • Neonatal Feeding: Delivering colostrum or concentrated formula.

  • Medication Delivery: Administering high-potency medications where even a 0.1 mL error could be clinically significant.

  • Oral Use: Can also be used as an oral dispenser for patients who can swallow but require precise measurement.
