Dispense the New U-500 Syringes With U-500 Insulin Vials

November 2016

The new U-500 insulin syringe will help improve patient safety.

It's been a long time coming. Patients using U-500 insulin vials have had to convert doses to U-100 syringe markings OR to volumes on tuberculin (TB) syringes...which could lead to dangerous dosing errors.

Now patients can simply draw up the actual number of units with the new U-500 syringe...so there's no need for dose conversions.
