BD 305863 - Sterile Enteral Syringe 50 mL with UniVia Connector for Enteral Feeding and Medication Delivery, 40/PK, 4 PK/CS (Continental US Only)

The BD 305863 Enteral Syringe is a sterile 50 mL syringe designed with a UniVia connector for enteral feeding, hydration, flushing, and medication administration. Its enteral-specific connector supports safer delivery through compatible enteral access devices and helps reduce the risk of misconnections with non-enteral systems.

The 50 mL capacity is suitable for larger-volume enteral applications, including formula delivery, water flushes, and medication preparation where higher volume control is required. The sterile format supports clean clinical practice and is appropriate for professional healthcare environments where infection prevention and patient safety are priorities.

Key Benefits

The BD 305863 supports safer enteral administration by using a UniVia connector designed for compatible enteral systems. This helps healthcare teams maintain route-specific delivery and avoid accidental connection to intravenous or other incompatible lines.

The 50 mL size provides practical capacity for routine enteral feeding support, water flushes, and larger-volume medication delivery. Its clear barrel markings support accurate measurement, while smooth plunger movement helps provide controlled administration.

The sterile, single-use design helps minimize contamination risk and supports infection control practices in hospitals, long-term care, outpatient care, and home healthcare settings.

Compatibility and Applications

The BD 305863 Enteral Syringe is intended for use with compatible UniVia enteral feeding tubes, extension sets, and enteral access devices. Facilities should confirm compatibility with their enteral systems before use.

Typical applications include enteral feeding administration, tube flushes, hydration support, medication delivery through enteral access devices, nutritional supplementation, and routine enteral care procedures.

Usage Guidelines

Use the BD 305863 only for enteral applications and only according to manufacturer instructions, facility policies, and clinical protocols. Before use, verify product sterility, packaging integrity, expiration date, prescribed volume, patient identity, and enteral route.

Connect the syringe securely to a compatible UniVia enteral device. Administer formula, water, or medication as directed by the care plan. Do not force the connector onto incompatible devices, and do not use this syringe for intravenous, vascular, or non-enteral applications.

After use, dispose of the syringe according to facility policy and applicable medical waste procedures. Do not reuse, reprocess, or resterilize if designated for single use.

Certifications and Safety Standards

The BD 305863 Enteral Syringe is manufactured for professional healthcare use and designed to support enteral administration safety. The sterile packaging and enteral-specific connector help facilities follow infection prevention and route-specific administration protocols.

Healthcare facilities should verify current product labeling, regulatory status, compatibility details, and compliance documentation through BD, CIA Medical, or authorized product documentation before clinical use.

Comparison with Competitor Products

Compared with general-purpose syringes, the BD 305863 is specifically designed for enteral use, helping reduce the risk of route misconnections. This makes it a safer and more appropriate option for enteral feeding workflows.

Compared with smaller enteral syringes, the 50 mL capacity is better suited for larger flushes, feeding support, and higher-volume enteral administration. Compared with non-sterile enteral syringe options, the sterile format provides additional assurance for clinical environments requiring sterile handling.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

The typical users of BD 305863 include nurses, dietitians, physicians, pharmacists, nutrition support teams, long-term care staff, home healthcare professionals, and trained caregivers involved in enteral feeding and medication delivery.

This syringe is commonly used in hospitals, pediatric and adult care units, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, outpatient nutrition programs, and home healthcare settings where safe enteral administration is required.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Store the BD 305863 in a clean, dry medical supply area and keep it in its sterile packaging until ready for use. Check the expiration date and packaging condition before opening.

Always confirm the enteral route before administration. Use only with compatible UniVia enteral systems and avoid adapting the syringe for non-enteral use. Follow facility procedures for medication preparation, flush volumes, feeding schedules, and disposal.

Regulatory and Safety Information

The BD 305863 Enteral Syringe is intended for enteral use only. It should never be used for intravenous, vascular, respiratory, or other non-enteral routes.

Users should follow institutional enteral feeding protocols, infection control procedures, patient identification checks, medication verification steps, and applicable healthcare regulations. Staff should be trained in enteral device compatibility and safe administration practices.
