“We wanted to make it easier for medical manufacturers to provide the traceability required to meet strict regulatory standards,” said Felicitas Stuebing, global product line specialist at Nordson EFD. “Meeting the most stringent USP Class designation is not only a testament to the quality of our components, it provides peace of mind that our components are safe to use in medical manufacturing processes.”
New Optimum Class VI dispensing components include 3cc, 5cc, 10cc, 30cc, and 55cc syringe barrels and pistons, in addition to end caps and tip caps. These biocompatible components do not have a colorant, making them easier for engineers to document for regulatory approvals.
In addition, these first-to-market medical-grade dispensing components feature the same highly-engineered design as standard Optimum components. The Class VI syringe barrels feature ZeroDraft™ walls with consistent internal diameters that maintain an airtight seal with Class VI pistons to provide accurate, repeatable fluid deposits used in bonding, coating, and other medical assembly processes.
These components also pass the same rigorous quality standards Nordson EFD maintains to ensure a consistent product that provides consistent performance.
Ethylene oxide (ETO), autoclave, and gamma sterilization methods were tested to determine the impact on Optimum Class VI dispensing components. Those results can be found in the product data sheet, though Nordson EFD states that all customers must to do their own testing to validate their processes.

Riskified Brings Identity Risk Intelligence to Zendesk, Helping Retailers Stop Returns Fraud Without Sacrificing Customer Experience15.9.2026 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
Riskified (NYSE: RSKD), a global leader in ecommerce fraud detection and risk intelligence, today announced a new partnership with Zendesk that brings its Identity Risk Intelligence directly into Zendesk’s customer service workflow. The integration gives human and AI support agents real-time signals, helping retailers resolve legitimate claims faster while curbing returns and refund abuse that drains revenue.
