Cleaning Instructions

Thoroughly wash syringe immediately after each use.

• While syringe tip is submerged in warm soapy (dish soap) water, pull/push plunger the full length of the barrel at least 3 times.
• Remove plunger from barrel. Using your hands, wash the plunger and barrel separately with warm (43-49°C; 110-120°F) soapy water until visible soil is removed. If visible soil remains, repeat cleaning steps using a soft-bristled brush to aid in washing the plunger and the INSIDE of the syringe barrel. Do not use abrasive products on the OUTSIDE of the barrel as this may lead to premature removal of printed markings on the syringe.
• Thoroughly rinse (until no bubbles remain) and allow both parts to dry in a clean area before putting plunger back in barrel. Repeat cleaning steps if visible soil remains.
• Store in a clean, dry area.
