BD Magni Guide Syringe Magnifier

The BD Syringe Magnifier device works as both an insulin syringe scale magnifier and a needle guide. This device helps enlarge the numbers and markings on an insulin syringe to 1.7 times their actual size, making it much easier for diabetes patients who have vision problems to correctly draw up the amount of insulin they need to correctly manage there insulin injections.

It is designed to offer both dexterity benefits (for people who have trouble stabilizing the syringe & insulin vial while injecting) and magnification benefits (for people who need help reading the scale on syringes).

Benefits

• The Syringe Magnifier attaches to both the insulin bottle and syringe, making it easier to hold them steady while you're preparing your insulin dose.
• It helps you to guide the syringe needle into the rubber stopper on the top of the insulin bottle.

Directions

• Snap the BD Magni-Guide Scale Magnifier onto the metal collar of an insulin vial.
• Uncap a syringe and place it into the BD Magni-Guide Scale Magnifier groove. Slide the syringe forward until the needle penetrates the vial's rubber top.
• Draw up your insulin dose as usual, viewing the scale through the BD Magni-Guide Scale Magnifier.

Note

Insulin vials of different manufacturers are different sizes:

• The BD Magni-Guide device works as described above with vials from Eli Lilly.
• Novo Nordisk vials fit the BD Magni-Guide device tightly and may cause the device to crack.
• Sanofi-Aventis vials fit the device loosely and therefore the user needs to stabilize the vial with their hands.
