Can the SquareOne device be used as a pre-filled syringe for self-administration, such as insulin?
The insulin safety syringe market is potentially a good market, if the law covering this application is enforced, since the home-user must protect any third party, such a visiting nurse, other family members (esp. children) and trash handlers. This is particularly true if insulin users do not change the syringe after each injection and store the device in the home refrigerator. Although the SquareOne Safety Syringe can be adapted for prefilled use, prefilled syringes are currently used mostly for narcotic control. In any case, the law(s) are clear; wherever a needle is used, OSHA requires that safety devices will be used. This includes the veterinary market, as well.
