Carpaject!!!

I know a colleague who uses a filter needle to draw med out of the carpuject injector. Doesn't seem to make sense to me as I think it defeats the whole purpose of having preloaded syringes - but hey, I know it works :)

I keep one on my person. End of shift, it goes into my locker. I don't leave it lying around

Myself....

My pharmacy dept has them available on request. I wish I'd have known that before I bought a half-dozen on my own :uhoh21:

ugh, our SICU doesn't even stock carpujects anymore...i floated there and asked for one...they phased them out due to costs and i was told to just use a straw or the end of a mouth swab! My, don't I look professional pushing meds with a straw! ha.

They can be bought online for about 15 cents apiece. (Cheap-azz hospitals!)

I just draw it up in a syringe. All of our narcotics and labetalol are carpuject. We don't have the things to administer though.
