Use and Dosage
To use BD Disposable Luer Lok 60mL syringes, ensure that you are working in a clean and sterile environment. Wash your hands thoroughly and gather all necessary supplies, including the syringe, needle (if needed), medication or fluid to be drawn or administered, and any other required equipment.
Check the packaging of the BD Disposable Luer Lok 60mL syringe for any signs of damage or compromise. If the packaging is intact, open it and inspect the syringe for any visible defects or contamination. Do not use a syringe that appears damaged or compromised.

Remove the protective cap from the needle and attach it securely to the syringe by twisting it onto the Luer Lok tip in a clockwise direction. Make sure the connection is tight to prevent leakage or detachment.
If you are using the syringe to draw medication or fluid, first ensure that the plunger is pushed all the way into the barrel. Remove any protective caps from the needle or Luer Lok tip. Insert the needle or Luer Lok tip into the vial or container containing the medication or fluid. Slowly pull back on the plunger to draw the desired amount of medication or fluid into the syringe.
After drawing the medication or fluid, check the syringe for any air bubbles. If present, gently tap the syringe to make the bubbles rise to the top. Slowly push the plunger up to expel the air bubbles from the syringe. Be careful not to push out any of the medication or fluid.
If you are using the syringe to administer medication or fluid, choose the appropriate injection site and follow the recommended injection technique.
