PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT ADDRESS THE QUESTIONS BELOW:
1) Would you consider drawing and shooting with different pins the only way to go? YES; NO; COMMENT-I draw with a larger gauge primarily as a time factor plus preserve the tip on the untouched pin that will be used for injection
2) Would alcohol swabbing your vial top prior to each drawing, then swabbing your pin prior to each injection be sufficient? YES; NO; COMMENT- I always swab the vial but never the actual pin. The pin is already sterilized and I dont see a need to touch it. Since I switch tips the new one is already screwed on and never touched.
If your routine differs from the two traditional methods above (when using vials), please describe it.
Thank you,
M.
