Usage
- For use only by trained healthcare professionals, following local clinical guidelines for intradermal and subcutaneous injections.
- Check the packaging integrity and expiry date before use; do not use if the package is damaged or expired.
- Open the sterile package, maintaining aseptic technique when handling the syringe and needle.
- If the needle is supplied detached, securely attach the 26G x 3/8" needle to the central slip tip before drawing up medication.
- Draw up the required volume of tuberculin or other prescribed medication, removing air bubbles according to clinical best practice.
- Perform the intradermal or subcutaneous injection using the appropriate technique (e.g., shallow angle for intradermal injection) and in an appropriate anatomical site as per guidelines.
- Do not recap the needle after use unless local policy allows and a safe recapping technique is employed.
- Immediately dispose of the entire syringe and needle as a single unit into an approved sharps container after use.
- Single use only – do not reuse, resterilise or share between patients.
Contraindications

Adverse Effects
- Local injection-site reactions including pain, erythema, bruising or minor bleeding associated with the injection procedure.
- Risk of infection at the injection site if aseptic technique is not followed.
