Safety needle EasyPoint®

sterile

NEW EasyPoint retractable needles feature automated retraction technology and pre-removal capability that has made Retractable Technologies the industry standard, but with added versatility. They can be used with luer lock and luer slip syringes, including pre-filled syringes. When the color-coded activation tab is pressed, the needle automatically retracts into the safety chamber and remains enclosed through disposal. Upon needle retraction, the syringe luer tip is covered, reducing the risk of exposure to medication or blood and body fluids. EasyPoint retractable needles are easy to use, allowing single-handed activation, while the clinician's fingers remain behind the exposed sharp at all times. PRODUCT USAGE INFORMATION Using aseptic technique, open package and securely attach the EasyPoint needle to a syringe. Carefully remove needle cap. Do not apply pressure to the color-coded tab during needle cap removal. Once needle cap has been removed, do not apply pressure to the color-coded tab until needle retraction is desired. According to institutional policy, select and prepare the injection/aspiration site and prepare and administer medication using aseptic technique. Upon completion of medication administration, apply pressure to the color-coded tab and the safety chamber using a squeezing motion. Do not push the color-coded tab upward. This device is designed for activation before or after removing the needle from the patient. Pre-removal activation minimizes exposure to the contaminated needle and reduces the risk of needlestick injuries. Activation can be achieved in a variety of ways.
