Can TB syringes and insulin syringes be used interchangeably?
no
What syringes are calibrated in units?
1/2 cc
Where is 0.25 in insulin syringe?
In an insulin syringe, 0.25 units is typically found between the 0.2 and 0.3 unit markings. Insulin syringes are calibrated in units, and the markings may vary slightly depending on the syringe's manufacturer. Always ensure to read the markings carefully to ensure accurate dosing.
Can you pre-fill syringes with Lantus Insulin?
NO
If using a tuberculin syringe instead of insulin syringe-how much insulin should i draw up?
When using a tuberculin syringe instead of an insulin syringe, it's important to note the differences in their measurements. A tuberculin syringe is calibrated in tenths of a milliliter (0.1 ml), while an insulin syringe is calibrated in units. To convert units of insulin to milliliters, you need to know the concentration of your insulin (typically 100 units per 1 ml). So, if you need to draw up 10 units of insulin with a tuberculin syringe, you would draw up 0.1 ml of insulin.
What is 60 units of insulin in a ml syringe?
In a standard insulin syringe, 60 units of insulin typically corresponds to 0.6 ml, as most insulin syringes are calibrated to deliver 100 units of insulin per ml. Therefore, if you draw up 60 units, you would fill the syringe to the 0.6 ml mark. It's important to always verify the calibration of your specific syringe to ensure accurate dosing.
Calibrated spoons are usually used with what patients?
Calibrated spoons are used for pediatric patients; children. Because children's doses are small, they are ideal for administering small doses. Calibrated oral syringes (no needle) may also be ideal for administering small doses to children. Calibrated spoons may also be used in place of oral syringes for ease of use or patient preference; especially for the elderly.
Can insulin syringes be used to measure any medication for parental use?
no i dont think so

Is there ISO Specification for Insulin Syringes?
ISO 8537:2007 specifies requirements and test methods for sterile syringes, with or without needles, solely for the injection of insulin. The syringes are single-use only, primarily for use in humans. It covers syringes for use with 40 units of insulin/ml (U-40) and 100 units of insulin/ml (U-100). Sterile syringes specified in ISO 8537:2007 are intended for use soon after filling as they are not suitable for containing insulin over extended periods of time. ISO 7886-3:2005 specifies the properties and performance of sterile single-use hypodermic syringes with or without needle, made of plastic materials and stainless steel and intended for the aspiration of vaccines or for the injection of vaccines immediately after filling. Upon delivering a fixed dose of vaccine the syringe is automatically rendered unusable. ISO 7886-3:2005 does not specify the design of the auto-disable feature, which is left to the discretion of the manufacturer ISO 7886-3:2005 is not applicable to syringes for use with insulin (specified in ISO 8537), syringes made of glass (specified in ISO 595), syringes for use with power-driven syringe pumps (specified in ISO 7886-2), auto-disable syringes for variable dose delivery and syringes designed to be prefilled. It does not address compatibility with injection fluids/vaccines. Available from http://iso.org
Do diabetic syringes come in different sizes?
There are different sizes of diabetic syringes available. The size of the syringe that you need is determined by the dosage of insulin that you take. http://www.americandiabeticsupply.com/diabetic-syringes.html
Diabetic Needles?
People with diabetes need to inject insulin shots using syringes and needles. It is important to select needles and syringes with the appropriate gauge specifications as prescribed by the doctor. Precision is important because the slightest variations in the volume of insulin injections can have significant side effects.
