SYRINGE FOR USE WITH AN APPARATUS FOR IRRADIATION OF FLUID WITH ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION

摘要

A syringe used with an apparatus for irradiation of fluid with electromagnetic radiation has a syringe barrel and a plunger rod assembly. The syringe barrel has a proximal end for receiving the plunger rod assembly; a hollow central body portion capable of holding fluids; and a distal end having a passage for receiving and dispensing the fluids from said hollow central body portion. The central body portion is of a rounded-rectangular or a racetrack--shaped cross-section and a chamber is disposed on the distal end of the syringe barrel in the vicinity of the passage and is in fluid communication with the central body portion and the passage. The plunger rod assembly has a plunger head portion and a plunger stem portion. The plunger stem portion is removably attached to the plunger head portion.
