What is included
- Box contains 48 individually packaged, sterile BD Vacutainer Eclipse needles (21 G × 1.25 in) with Luer adapter. The box in the supplied photograph is the standard 48/box commercial pack. (Does not include Vacutainer tubes or a separate tube holder unless explicitly ordered.)
Condition and packaging
- The photographed carton shows a closed retail box marked REF 368607 and "48" on the face; this matches BD product packaging for the 48/box unit.
Usage notes
- Designed for use with BD Vacutainer holders and other compatible Luer adapters; the product listing specifies a Luer adapter connector.
- The device features a single‑hand activation technique and an audible click to confirm locking.
Limitations and incompatibilities
- This listing is for the needle only (box of 48). Do not assume the box includes a Vacutainer tube holder or collection tubes unless the listing explicitly states those items are included.
- If you require a different gauge, needle length, or hub colour, review the REF number (368607) and hub colour — adjacent BD Eclipse variants use different REF numbers and colours.
Regulatory, handling and safety
- Needles are sterile, single‑use, and should be handled and disposed of in accordance with local sharps and clinical waste regulations.
Warnings
- Expiry dates and lot numbers are unit‑specific and are not shown in the supplied photograph; check the physical box for expiry before use.
- Price and availability vary widely between distributors and public contract listings; see market observations for examples.
- If local procurement requires a pre‑attached single‑use holder (rather than a Luer adapter), confirm compatibility — this product is a Luer‑adapter variant as pictured and described in BD documentation.
