For the past 18 months, I have been using 1ml "Luer-Lock" syringes (#04-3001) and need some clarification on drawing the proper dose into the syringe. I think I may be injecting 0.1ml too much each week, but I am not entirely sure?
My protocol is to inject 0.7ml/140mg of Test per week...…I use my 18g draw needle to draw the Test from the vile to the 0.7ml line, but as I drawback before installing the 25g needle for my injection, the actual amount in the syringe will read 0.8ml from the base Zero line. This type of syringe looks to hold 0.1ml of Test between the installed needle headspace to the zero line.
I have used different type syringes in the past were the face of the rubber stopper is flat and after injected IM, I would still have a residual amount of Test left in the tip of the needle....However the "Luer-Lock" syringes use a rubber stopper that incorporates a nipple that injects all the Test drawn into the syringe. So is the proper volume from the zero line to fill line, or from completely empty to fill line?
Thanks in advance and I truly hope I didn't confuse the heck out of everyone!
Cheers!
