Ciringe 1 ml Syringe - Pack of 10

Product Information

The amount of medication in a source container of an injection is defined by the USP monograph for that injection. For example, according to the monograph for Cefazolin Sodium for Injection, a container is considered accurately filled if it contains between -10% and +15% of its labeled potency. Based on looking at over 250 monographs of liquid injections, most are within ±10% (though there are some significant outliers. Again, this doesn’t mean that all instances of any product are at these limits; it does mean that any instance of a product could be at these limits and be considered to be accurately filled. a b "Archived copy" (PDF).

These discussions have ranged from considerations of the lowest volume a human can measure, to the level of precision necessary in density data for gravimetric systems. Based on those conversations, I have come to the conclusion that we tend to practice as if we were capable of more precision and more accuracy than is, in fact, humanly possible in the general case.

Tip: If you hear someone say give “10 cc” of this medication, cc is the same as mL. Therefore, 10 mL equals 10 cc. A low dead space syringe (LDSS) or low dead-volume syringe is a type of syringe with a design that seeks to limit dead space that exists between the syringe hub and needle. a b c Strauss K, van Zundert A, Frid A, Costigliola V.

Erembodegem-Dorp 86, European Medical Association This means that (for example), if we fill a 50 mL syringe to its 50 mL mark and we all agree the syringe is full (contains no significant air), the best we can know is that the syringe contains somewhere between 48 and 52 mL.Those of us who remember our basic high school chemistry may recall that we were introduced to the concept of something called ‘ significant figures’. There were two fundamental lessons from that concept:

Applying this same analysis to liquid medications (with a variance of ±10%), we are looking at roughly a ±14% variance (removes reconstitution variance). This is a 5 mL syringe. Each line measures in 0.2 increments until it reaches a total capacity of 5 mL. Barrel with a readable scale: this is where you will match up the top of the plunger seal (see image at the side) and the line on the scale with the amount of medication you need to administer. Most scales on the barrel are in mL (milliliters) or cc (cubic centimeters). If you are administering insulin you will use a syringe that measures in units. NOTE: always determine the capacity of your syringe because each syringe has different measurements on its scale..hence each line represents a different increment of measurement (more information on this below). Subcutaneous Under the skin into the fatty layer. Used for less irritating substances than are intramuscular injections. Insulin and heparin are given subcutaneously. This is a 100 unit insulin syringe. Each line measures in 2 increments until it reaches a total capacity of 100 units.Intradermal (ID) Shallow injection to be given just under the skin between the dermis and the epidermis. Used mainly for skin tests. Not used to deliver medications. 0.1 mL is the usual volume for skin test injections. A 1-mL syringe is used.
