Needles are used in routine venipuncture procedures. The products are to be used by appropriately trained healthcare professionals only in accordance with the instructions for use.
Multi-sample needles and luer needles have a perforated label directly around the shield. If the perforation is broken, it could mean that the needle has already been used or the shield has already been opened; it must be disposed of immediately. This perforation can be seen as an additional safety feature.
The needle shields and hubs are colour coded according to the international colour coding recommendations for needle gauges. Colour coding facilities identifications of the different needle sizes.
