It can be measured using tuberculin syringe 1 ml.
No, a tuberculin syringe is intended for use in intradermal injections and the flu shot is given intramuscularly. The needle on a tuberculin syringe is not the right size.
To read a tuberculin syringe you simply have to look at the calibrations on the syringe. Make sure that your eye is level to avoid taking a wrong reading as a result of parallax.
NO
0.1mL
1/100
tuberculin 1ml
Measure to the edge of the plunger (or piston) where it touches the inside of the syringe cylinder. http://www.northcumbriahealth.nhs.uk/palliativecare/clinical/syringe/05.php
If you mean getting a TB Test, then it is intradermal (ID) which means between the layers of the skin.
NO. A tuberculin syringe will only hold up to one ml. It is very useful, and appropriate for measuring any amount equal to or less than one ml. Also...It is NOT appropriate to try to use an insulin syringe for this purpose, as some people try to do. Insulin syringes are measured in *units*, not milliliters and therefore will not give an accurate reading of ml's. This is a potentially dangerous practice. If you have no other option...100 units = 1ml approximately...or so I am told. Get the right tool for the job!! Insulin needs to be measured accurately each and every time. It is not worth risking your life. Get the right syringe for administrating insulin!!
what would 20 units be equal to in a 1 cc tuberculin
Teardrops can vary widely in volume, but if you must know , collect the teardrop in a med cup , draw it up into an insulin or tuberculin syringe and convert the measurement of minims or cc's , into the desired measurement .
