how do you think this effort puts thousands of people at risk?
if you download the instruction packet(o) it comes with a Links.txt file that has a link to an instructions video.. which at the time of writing this comment can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldFFJRdhVs8 ; i suggest you watch it
all of the components are 'off the shelf' and the drugs are prescription
from this(i) ~random site epinephrine costs 74.95$ for 30mL, the instructions call for .3mL, that is 100 uses from this 75$ vial, or 75 cents of epineprhine per epipencil
when i read the article i thought this was a great effort that could save the lives of anyone who was unable to bare the new price of the epipen, but now i am wondering what from the epipen warrants the price tag? can a loved one even sue epipen if it malfunctions and kills the intended user?
As far as I understand: a regular bubble of air, while undesirable, won't kill you. That's part of what the lungs are for, and in fact it happens in hospitals all the time.
A very large bubble can kill you, but you need to put some serious effort [1].
sure, but concerns like that are why the epipen`cil came to be
in emergencies you are stressed and on a time constraint
if one takes the time to prepare for such an emergency by constructing the epipencil i would hope thae would follow the instructions given carefully, which notes:
7) Inspect carefully to make sure there are no air bubbles, and remove them if present.
i sent them an email requesting that they explicitly describe in the instructions and verbally describe in the video how to ensure the syringe is bubble free
