Reconstitution calculator
- Computes
- concentration and volume from vial mass, diluent volume and desired mass per draw
- Refuses
- anything that takes body weight or a condition and returns a dose
Concentration and volume
Formula, stated in the open: concentration = mass in the vial ÷ diluent volume. Volume to draw for a given mass = that mass ÷ concentration. Syringe units assume a 100-unit-per-millilitre insulin syringe, which is the only scale this converts to.
Worked example: 5 mg in 2 mL gives 2,500 mcg/mL; 250 mcg is 0.1 mL, or 10 units. The calculator takes no body weight and no condition, and it does not suggest what mass to draw.
