Disposable U-100 Insulin Syringes — 25 Count

Disposable U-100 Syringes Product Overview Nuforme Disposable U-100 Syringes feature a 1mL barrel, U-100 measurement scale and 31G × 1/4-inch (6mm) fine-gauge needle. Each package contains 25 syringes intended for single-use applications. The clear barrel and contrasting scale markings allow small liquid volumes to be measured using the printed U-100 graduations. These syringes are supplied as an ancillary product and do not contain insulin, peptides, diluents or any other active material. Product Specifications Product: Disposable U-100 syringes Package quantity: 25 syringes Barrel capacity: 1mL / 1cc Scale format: U-100 units Nominal scale capacity: 100 units Needle gauge: 31G Needle length: 1/4 inch / 6mm Needle configuration: Verify using manufacturer documentation Graduation interval: Verify using manufacturer documentation Sterile status: Verify on the original packaging Packaging format: Verify whether individually sealed Manufacturer: Verify on the original packaging Manufacturer identifier: Verify on the original packaging Canadian Medical Device Licence: Verify before sale Intended use: Follow the manufacturer’s approved labelling All specifications should be confirmed against the original manufacturer’s packaging and applicable device documentation. Understanding the U-100 Scale U-100 is a concentration-based measurement convention corresponding to 100 units per millilitre. A 1mL U-100 syringe is therefore normally marked from 0 to 100 units. The printed numbers are units, not milligrams or micrograms. They should not be interpreted as the mass or concentration of an unidentified material. The relationship between a syringe marking and the quantity of any substance depends on the concentration of the specific liquid being measured. Nuforme does not provide dosing or administration instructions for this product. A U-100 scale should not be represented as interchangeable with U-40, U-200, U-300, U-500 or other concentration-specific systems. Needle Gauge and Length Needle gauge uses an inverse numbering system: a higher gauge number indicates a smaller external diameter. The stated 31G specification describes the nominal needle gauge. The stated needle length is 1/4 inch, equivalent to approximately 6mm. Gauge and length do not independently establish suitability for a particular compound, container closure, experiment or application. Researchers should review the specifications and approved labelling supplied by the device manufacturer. Measurement Considerations A syringe scale provides a nominal volume reference. Measurement performance may be affected by: Graduation interval Scale readability Barrel geometry Plunger position Dead space Liquid viscosity Air bubbles Needle configuration Manufacturing tolerances Operator technique The smallest visible graduation should not automatically be treated as the device’s validated analytical accuracy or precision. Where quantitative accuracy is critical, the syringe should be evaluated against an appropriate calibrated volumetric method. A disposable syringe is not automatically equivalent to a calibrated analytical micropipette. Material Compatibility Compatibility should be confirmed for the specific liquid and experimental procedure. Relevant variables may include: Syringe-barrel material Plunger and gasket composition Needle material Silicone lubricant Adsorption to device surfaces Extractables and leachables Liquid viscosity pH and solvent composition Contact time Required measurement accuracy The absence of immediately visible cloudiness, discolouration or leakage does not establish chemical compatibility. Compatibility with one liquid should not be assumed to apply to unrelated compounds, solvents, proteins or peptides. Single-Use Design The current product information describes these syringes as disposable and intended for single use. Single-use devices should not be cleaned, resterilized or reused. Reuse may affect measurement performance, needle condition, material integrity and contamination control. “Single use” and “sterile” are separate claims. A disposable product should not be described as sterile unless sterile status is specifically stated on the original manufacturer’s packaging and supported by the applicable device documentation. Packaging and Sterility Verification Before offering the product for sale, the original packaging should be checked for: Manufacturer name and address Device name and identifier Needle gauge and length Barrel capacity and scale Sterile status Sterilization method, where stated Single-use symbol or wording Lot or batch number Expiry date Package integrity requirements Canadian licence information A sealed retail package does not by itself establish that every syringe is individually sealed or sterile. Do not use a syringe if its protective packaging is open, damaged, wet or otherwise compromised. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding inspection and package integrity. Regulatory Documentation Insulin syringes are medical devices when represented for measuring or administering insulin in humans. Before the product is marketed in Canada as an insulin syringe, the exact manufacturer, device identifier and active Canadian Medical Device Licence should be verified. Importer and distributor licensing requirements should also be reviewed. A general description such as “research use only” does not replace device-specific licensing, manufacturing, labelling or distribution requirements where the product meets the definition of a medical device. Nuforme should retain the supplier invoice, manufacturer information, device identifier and applicable licensing documentation for the exact product being sold. Handling and Sharps Safety The attached needle is a sharp object capable of causing puncture injuries. Keep unused syringes in their original packaging and away from children and unauthorized users. Do not handle a needle if its protective cap or packaging is damaged. Used or contaminated syringes should be placed promptly into an approved puncture-resistant sharps container. They should not be placed loose in household garbage or recycling. Applicable institutional procedures and provincial or municipal sharps-disposal requirements should be followed. Do not recap, bend, break, detach or otherwise manipulate a used needle unless an approved procedure specifically requires it and appropriate safety controls are in place. Storage Store unused syringes in their original packaging under the conditions stated by the manufacturer. Protect them from moisture, excessive heat, direct sunlight, physical damage and chemical contamination. Do not use the product after the manufacturer’s expiry date or when the packaging, barrel, plunger, needle or protective cap appears damaged. This product does not contain insulin or any other active substance. Nuforme does not provide medical advice, dosing guidance or injection instructions. Use only in accordance with the original manufacturer’s approved labelling and applicable Canadian requirements.
