Instructions for use – MicronJetTM

The MicronJetTMis a micro-needle device that is mounted on a standard syringe in the same manner as a conventional needle.

The MicronJetTM comprises an integral array of micro-needles:

  • MicronJetTM 600 – 0.6mm length, 3 micro-pyramids.
  • MicronJetTM 800 – 0.8mm length, 3 micro-pyramids.

The MicronJetTM is used to inject liquid substances, allowing for controlled intradermal delivery in any procedure which requires administration of substances to the dermal
compartment.

Questions and Answers:

Follow the common practice as with a regular needle and syringe

  • Injection may have started out wet – avoid pressing the plunger prior to injection.
  • Syringe not held properly – make sure you hold the syringe flanges between fingers and thumb; avoid switching hands
  • Improper device orientation – make sure blue line faces you during injection and.
  • Syringe is not tilted sideways or rotated
  • Too high / low injection angle – make sure angle between syringe axis and skin surface is as close as possible
    to 45˚- 70˚ and flatten as required.
  • Insufficient pressure applied to the skin – increase slightly.
  • Skin not stretched – make sure to keep the skin stretched throughout the entire injection.

  • A. Large air bubble within syringe – make sure to fill syringe properly and remove air bubbles.
  • A. The fluid is leaking between the device and the syringe – make sure you firmly connect the device to the syringe.

  • A. Too much pressure is applied to the skin – reduce slightly.
  • A. Improper injection angle – too high. Make sure angle between syringe axis and skin surface is as close as possible to 45˚- 70˚ and flatten. as required.
  • A. Skin type or texture – try different injection site
Hold syringe flanges
  • Hold syringe flanges between thumb and fingers.
  • The blue line must face you at all times.
  • Syringe flanges are not the orientation guide as they may not always be parallel to the blue line; use the blue line for orientation.
Stretch the skin
  • Stretch the skin downwards throughout the entire injection.
  • Insert the device at a 45*-70° angle (flatten as required to reduce injection pressure).
  • Press the device into the skin until a shallow indentation is formed.
  • Inject slowly, expect strong resistance.
  • A white wheal (bleb) will form at the injection site.
  • Upon completion, wait 3 seconds and remove syringe.
