WHO IT’S IDEAL FOR

Embecta® Ultra-Fine Insulin Syringes may be suitable for:

• Adults administering prescribed U-100 insulin
• Individuals managing type 1 diabetes
• Individuals managing insulin-treated type 2 diabetes
• Patients requiring insulin during pregnancy under medical supervision
• People prescribed small insulin doses of up to 30 units per injection
• Healthcare professionals administering subcutaneous insulin
• Clinics and healthcare facilities requiring sterile, single-use insulin syringes
• Patients transitioning from BD Ultra-Fine™ syringes to Embecta® packaging

Important: These syringes are calibrated for U-100 insulin only. They must not be used to measure other insulin concentrations or medications unless a qualified healthcare professional has specifically confirmed the appropriate device and dosing method.

WHAT IT IS / WHAT IT DOES

Embecta® Ultra-Fine Insulin Syringes are sterile medical devices designed for the subcutaneous administration of U-100 insulin.

Each syringe combines a clear 0.3 mL barrel with a permanently attached 31-gauge, 8 mm needle.

The design allows users to measure and administer prescribed insulin doses of up to 30 units.

1. Supports Accurate Insulin Measurement

The 0.3 mL syringe capacity corresponds to 30 units of U-100 insulin.

This smaller barrel size is particularly useful for patients requiring relatively low insulin doses.

2. Features a Thin 31G Needle

The 31-gauge needle is designed to facilitate subcutaneous injection.

A higher gauge number generally indicates a thinner needle.

Needle comfort varies between individuals and depends on injection technique, injection site and other factors.

3. Uses an 8 mm Short Needle

The 8 mm needle is intended for subcutaneous injection.

Appropriate injection technique is important because an 8 mm needle may reach muscle in some individuals if used incorrectly.

Your diabetes healthcare professional can advise whether this needle length is appropriate and whether a skin fold or angled injection is needed.

4. Provides Single-Use Sterility

Each syringe is supplied sterile and is intended for one-time use.

Reusing insulin syringes can increase the risk of needle damage, infection and inaccurate administration.

Check the reference number on your existing packaging when reordering to help ensure you select the intended syringe configuration.

UNDERSTANDING THE SYRINGE SPECIFICATIONS

What Does 0.3 mL Mean?

The syringe barrel holds a maximum of 0.3 millilitres.

For U-100 insulin:

Volume	U-100 Insulin Units
0.05 mL	5 Units
0.10 mL	10 Units
0.15 mL	15 Units
0.20 mL	20 Units
0.25 mL	25 Units
0.30 mL	30 Units

These conversions apply only to U-100 insulin.

Always measure your prescribed dose using the syringe’s printed unit markings.

What Does 31G Mean?

31G refers to the needle gauge.

A 31-gauge needle is thin and commonly used for insulin administration.

What Does 8 mm Mean?

8 mm refers to the needle length.

It is equivalent to approximately 5/16 inch.

The needle is intended to deliver insulin into subcutaneous fatty tissue rather than muscle.

BD ULTRA-FINE™ TO EMBECTA® BRAND TRANSITION

Is Embecta the Same as BD Ultra-Fine?

Embecta was established as a separate diabetes care company following its separation from BD.

Certain insulin delivery products previously sold under the BD Ultra-Fine™ brand are now marketed under Embecta® branding.

What Does This Mean for Customers?

Customers may notice:

• Updated brand names
• Different packaging graphics
• Embecta® manufacturer identification
• Familiar insulin syringe configurations

Important: Packaging changes do not establish that every Embecta product is identical to every previous BD product.

To confirm you are purchasing the correct replacement, compare:

• Manufacturer reference number
• Syringe capacity
• Needle gauge
• Needle length
• Insulin concentration compatibility

For this listing, the stated configuration is REF 320440 — 0.3 mL, 31G × 8 mm, U-100.

IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION

Designed for U-100 Insulin

These syringes are calibrated for insulin containing 100 units per millilitre.

They are not interchangeable with devices intended for U-40, U-500 or other insulin concentrations.

Using the wrong syringe can cause serious dosing errors.

Not a Universal Injectable Medication Syringe

Although some injectable medications are administered subcutaneously, insulin syringes should not automatically be used for other medications.

This includes compounded medications, GLP-1 medications and other injectables.

Different products may require different syringes, devices, needle specifications and dosing measurements.

Only use this syringe for another medication when specifically instructed by the prescribing healthcare professional or pharmacist.

Not Intended for All Medical Procedures

This product is designed for insulin administration.

It should not be marketed as a universal device for:
