Auto-Disable Syringes What To Look For
Auto-Disable Syringes What To Look For
As a global leading manufacturer of injection devices, BD is committed to their safe use and disposal
healthcare institutions, life science researchers, clinical laboratories, industry and the general public. BD manufactures and sells a broad range of medical supplies, devices, laboratory equipment and diagnostic products.
As a global leading manufacturer of injection devices, BD is committed to their safe use and disposal. Reuse of disposable syringes and needles leads to the transmission of blood-borne pathogens such as hepatitisB, hepatitis-C, HIV (the virus that causes AIDS), and other infections, such as abscesses and septicemia. To help prevent reuse of disposable syringes and needles, BD has developed several auto-disable (AD) devices in conjunction with the World Health Organization (WHO) and several other international agencies. The WHO denes auto-disable syringes as syringes that are automatically rendered unusable after having delivered a prescribed dose of vaccine.*
BD Auto-Disable (AD) devices include the BD SoloShot Syringe Family and the BD UniJect Prelled Injection Device. BD seeks to support international efforts to reduce the risk of vaccine-preventable diseases and infections from unsafe injection practices by providing AD products, as well as training and education. BD hopes our AD devices and services will help ensure the health and wellbeing of future generations.

commitment
hope
BDs objective is to provide high quality AD syringes, ensuring that our customers needs for performance and service quality are fullled and exceeded. We have been successful in doing so, as we have been supplying these devices for more than 10 years, and we have already supplied more than one and a half billion devices to most countries in the developing world and to agencies such as UNICEF, MSF, IFRC, and JICA, among others. This guide on important variables to consider when carrying out the procurement of AD syringes is based on our vast experience in manufacturing and distributing them throughout the world.
BD hopes our AD devices and services will help ensure the health and well-being of future generations
Easy-to-use design
It is important that the auto-disable syringes do not require signicant changes in the standard procedure for preparing and administering vaccines. Studies in Pakistan2 and Indonesia3 concluded that vaccinators preferred BD SoloShotTM Syringes over conventional disposable syringes, describing it as easier to use. The BD SoloShotTM Syringe Familys passive locking clip design automatically activates during normal use of the syringe, and does not require an additional disabling step.
BD products are designed, developed, tested and validated to meet and exceed standards

Excellent value
It is important to have affordable products on the market that represent a low increase in the budget with respect to disposable syringes, and can be adopted by resource constrained countries. However, reliability and efcacy of the product should be considered of greater importance. There is no use in paying more for a product that fails to meet the injection safety requirements of a public health program. BD provides great value to customers with easy-to-use, reliable and affordable products. These products have a proven record of excellent performance and reliability, and they are among the most affordable products available on the market.
