[blparent] Syringe Plunger still goes Beyond 3ml Line: Please Help

[Jaquiss, Robert]

Hello:

     The Independence Market has a device for setting syringes used by those who take insulin. If you can use the appropriate sized syringe, the device is intended to give an accurate dose.

Regards,

Robert

When you draw medication using a syringe that has its plunger marked at the 
desired dosage you will submerge the syringe enough so that when you draw 
the medication that no air is drawn into the syringe.  You need to pull the 
plunger past the marked place on the plunger.  Keeping the syringe submerged

in the medication slowly push the plunger down until the marked line is even

with the top of the outer casing of the syringe.  HTH and Happy 
Thanksgiving.
