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.
When pressure is applied to the color-coded tab and the safety
chamber using a squeezing motion, the safety chamber and
syringe will slide toward the color-coded tab, allowing the
needle to automatically retract into the safety chamber. In the
event that the needle retraction mechanism does not activate,
discard the needle in an appropriate sharps container per
protocol of institution. Do not recap contaminated needles.
Dispose of the used needle and syringe in an appropriate
sharps container per protocol of institution.
