It may be used with compatible syringe systems when the connection and intended procedure meet applicable product requirements.
Typical applications may include medication administration, fluid aspiration, specimen-related procedures, and other clinical tasks where a 22-gauge, 1-inch hypodermic needle is appropriate. Selection of needle gauge and length should always be based on the medication, injection route, patient characteristics, anatomical site, syringe compatibility, and established clinical guidelines.
Usage Guidelines
Before use, inspect the individual package and needle to confirm that the packaging is intact and that the device has not been damaged. Select an appropriate compatible syringe and prepare the medication or procedure according to institutional infection-control and medication-administration protocols.
Attach the needle securely using the connection method specified for the compatible syringe. Perform the intended procedure using appropriate aseptic technique. After use, activate the Pro-EDGE safety mechanism according to the manufacturer's instructions before disposal. Immediately discard the used needle and syringe assembly into an approved sharps disposal container in accordance with facility policy and applicable regulations.
Do not attempt to reuse, reprocess, or improperly manipulate a used safety needle. Healthcare professionals should follow their organization's sharps safety procedures at all times.
Certifications and Safety Standards
Smiths Medical safety hypodermic needles are intended for professional medical use and should be handled according to the manufacturer's labeling, applicable regulatory requirements, institutional policies, and recognized infection-prevention and sharps-safety practices.

The integrated safety-focused design supports healthcare facilities in implementing safer sharps practices and occupational exposure prevention programs. Always follow current facility procedures and applicable standards governing injection safety, sharps disposal, and protection from bloodborne pathogen exposure.
Comparison with Competitors

This can be particularly valuable in healthcare environments where reducing occupational needlestick risk is an important component of clinical workflow and staff safety.
Its 22G x 1-inch specification, clear gauge identification, professional-grade construction, and bulk case packaging make it a practical option for facilities evaluating safety hypodermic needles from major medical device manufacturers. Product selection should be based on syringe compatibility, safety activation method, clinical application, staff preference, procurement requirements, and facility protocols rather than gauge and length alone.

The 1,000-count case configuration is particularly suitable for facilities with recurring needle utilization or centralized medical supply purchasing requirements.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store unused Smiths Medical 402210 needles in their original packaging in a clean, dry environment under the storage conditions specified by the manufacturer. Protect the product from excessive heat, moisture, contamination, and physical damage.
Before each procedure, confirm the correct needle gauge and length, inspect package integrity, and verify compatibility with the intended syringe and clinical application. Maintain aseptic technique during preparation and use. Activate the safety feature immediately after the procedure as directed, and place the used device into an approved sharps container without unnecessary handling.
Because the product is intended as a disposable medical device, routine cleaning or maintenance is not required. Do not reuse or reprocess used needles. Staff should receive appropriate training on safety-feature activation and sharps disposal procedures before clinical use.
