## Indications for use
The VaporShield™ is a sterile, single-use, closed system transfer device (CSTD), incorporating a preassembled Drug Vial holder (DVH) and Syringe (1mL, 22GA). The preassembled device is intended for medication draw from a drug vial only. After medication draw, the DVH is removed from the syringe, and the syringe is used for direct injection of hazardous and non-hazardous medication via subcutaneous or intramuscular administration. The syringe incorporates a safety mechanism which automatically retracts the needle inside the device for drug containment, and prevention of accidental needlesticks and device reuse. The VaporShield mechanically prevents drug transfer external to the device to minimize individual and environmental drug exposure. The VaporShield is intended for use by medical professionals who prepare/administer injection(s) to adults and adolescents in healthcare facilities. The device is not intended for neonates (<28 days old), infants (< 2 yrs old), or children (> 2 yrs. old – 12 yrs. old). The VaporShield Device is not intended for Compounding, Reconstitution, Phlebotomy, Intravenous injection, Intraperitoneal injection, or Intrathecal injection.
