60643
Vaccine syringe/needle, reuse-prevention (A sterile device consisting of a transparent barrel (cylinder) with plunger which has a built-in safety mechanism preventing reuse [reuse prevention (RUP)], and includes a fixed needle at the distal end, intended to be used for the reconstitution/administration of vaccines and infection prevention. The RUP mechanism may automatically block the plunger once depressed so it cannot be depressed again (e.g., with serrations, hook, or claw on plunger, or rings on barrel) or it may crack the syringe when the plunger is fully depressed to prevent further use. This is a single-use device.)
