Description

Key Features

  • Simulated Insulin: This product is a vial that mimics a vial of NPH (Isophane) Insulin, an intermediate-acting insulin used to manage 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 NPH Insulin vial, including the brand name and a concentration of 100 units/mL. Because NPH insulin is cloudy, the simulated product is often a white or milky liquid, which requires mixing before it is drawn up. This is a crucial detail for training students.

  • Non-Human Use: The vial contains a simulated, non-toxic liquid 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, specifically focusing on the mixing and administration of cloudy insulin.

  • 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.
