Description
Key Features
Simulated Insulin: This product is a vial that mimics a vial of Lantus® (insulin glargine), a long-acting insulin used to treat high blood sugar in people with diabetes. It's designed to look and be handled just like the real medication.
Realistic Appearance and Labeling: The vial realistically simulates the appearance and labeling of a real Lantus® vial, including the brand name and a concentration of 100 units/mL. This is crucial for training students in medication verification, which is particularly important for high-alert medications like insulin.
Non-Human Use: The vial contains a simulated, non-toxic liquid (typically sterile water) and is clearly marked for instructional use only. It is not for human or animal use, which is a critical safety feature for a training environment.
Compatibility: The vial is designed to be accessed with an insulin syringe, allowing students to practice the physical skills of drawing up the correct dosage and preparing it for administration.
Uses
Diabetes Management Training: The primary use is to teach students and professionals how to properly and safely administer insulin via injection.
High-Alert Medication Training: Insulin is a high-alert medication, meaning it has an increased risk of causing significant harm if used incorrectly. This simulated product allows students to practice the "five rights" of medication administration and other safety protocols in a safe environment.
Dosage Calculation Practice: It is an essential tool for practicing dosage calculations, as students must determine the correct volume to draw up based on a simulated order.
Clinical Documentation: It is a key component for training students on how to correctly document the administration of insulin on a medication administration record (MAR) and a blood glucose record.
