At what age do you have your TB injection?
The usual age for the TB injection is between the ages 12 to 16. normally in year 8 to year 10. but if you miss you TB injection you can go to your local hospital and ask to book an appointment to get it done.
At what age do you have your TB injection in Ireland?
Babies are given the TB vaccine within days of their birth, usually in the maternity hospital.
What is the route of a tuberculin syringe?
If you mean getting a TB Test, then it is intradermal (ID) which means between the layers of the skin.
What is the fuel pressure for a 1996 4.3L V6 tb?
Throttle body injection should have 41 to 47 psi. Central fuel injection should have 60 to 66 psi.
What are the uses of a syringe?
They are used to deliver the antigen for tuberculosis tests to determine if a person is infected or has been infected with TB in the past. The TB skin test requires an intradermal injection of the antigen. The needle is the shortest and the syringe is the smallest so that the extremely small doses (drop size doses) of antigen can be delivered between the layers of the skin to create a blister/bleb that looks similar to a mosquito bite. The skin reaction to the antigen is measured for determining positive or negative reactions. They are also used for measuring and/or administering small amounts of medications, fluids, or solutions. For example, in neurosurgery, tuberculin syringes are used in the procedure to place Balcofen pumps into patients. The pumps deliver small amounts of anti-seizure medication into the spinal cord. In this usage, once the catheter is placed into the spinal cord, the TB syringe is used to remove a very minuscule amount of precious Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to make sure the catheter is patent (open). Insulin syringes are similar small syringes for administering insulin but not as small as TB syringes and the needles are for subcutaneous (sub-Q) use and slightly longer than TB syringe needles. The unit measures on the two types of syringes are not the same, so the two can not be interchanged for use.

Does eating potatoes give you TB?
Eating potatoes does not cause TB. TB is a disease generally caught from other human beings.
Are licensed phlebotomists allowed to give TB injections?
From what i have read on from the center for disease control, they say that a licensed phlebotomist is allowed to give the ppd test ..
What is the difference between a tuberculin syringe and an insulin syringe -?
They are made for administration of specific measurements of either insulin or the antigen for TB testing called PPD (Purified Protein Derivative). Both types of syringes are calibrated into "units". Unit measurements are fixed measures but specific to each type of medicine/solution as to their volume. A unit of insulin is not the same thing as a unit of TB antigen, so the TB syringe can not be used in the place of an insulin syringe. Insulin is administered with the insulin syringe "subcutaneously" (under the skin) in the subcutaneous (sub Q) tissue. The needle is slightly longer than that on a TB syringe. The antigen solution is administered in the TB test "intradermally" (within the skin/between the layers of the skin) instead of under the skin, so the needle is shorter. The amount of liquid in a dose of TB antigen is much smaller than the amount usually given of insulin. Therefore, the barrel of the TB syringe is smaller in diameter to allow such very small amounts (drops) of antigen to be measured. In addition, insulin syringes come in two scales of measurement: U-100 and U-40. This on the label of the syringes indicates which type of insulin they are made to measure and administer. The insulin vial will also be marked either "U-100" or "U-40". One strength is 100 units of insulin per mL and the other is 40 units of insulin per mL. A different insulin syringe is need to measure U-100 than the type used to measure U-40. Unit calibration on the syringe used must be matched to the "strength" of the insulin being used. U-100 insulin has 1/100 of a mL volume per unit (equal also to 1/100 of a cc). U-40 insulin has 1/40 of a mL volume per unit.
Can you kiss your wife who is a abdominal TB patient?
Yes, one can contract TB from inhaling the infected particles from someone who has TB, so therefore kissing someone with TB will definitely give you the disease.
What injection is given into the adipose tissue under the skin?
Commonly, an injection given into the adipose issue is considered a "subcutaneous" injection. If it were given in a muscle, such as the flu shot, it would be "intramuscular" and if into the very thin dermal layer of the skin, such as with a TB test, it would be 'intradermal"
