B.1 Apparatus used in aspiration tests
J.1 ISO symbol for single use, number ISO 7000/1051
Describes requirements and test methods for sterile syringes with or without needles for single use solely for the injection of insulin in humans. Covers syringes for use with 40 units of insulin/ml and 100 units of insulin/ml. Intended for use soon after filling as they are not suitable for containing insulin over extended periods of time. Covers normative references, definitions and nomenclature, types of syringe, freedom from extraneous matter, limits for extractable matter, lubrication of syringes and needles, range of sizes, graduated scale, barrel, piston/plunger assembly, nozzle, needles, performance of assembled syringe, packaging and marking.
