What is it indicated for?
The UNIVEC Sliding Sheath Syringe (K993396) is an Active Safety Feature for a hypodermic syringe. The Sliding Sheath Mechanism is used with a traditional disposable syringe or the Univec Auto-Destruct syringe. The Univec Sliding Sheath Syringe is used to aid in the prevention of needle stick injuries. After an injection, the shield is easily moved from an unextended to an extended position with one hand so that the needle tip is covered by a 360 degree enclosure. The scale is printed on the barrel in a way that allows the Healthcare worker to read through the sheath or from the backside of the sheath.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA 510(k) statement, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
