Lancets
I had a medical check up last Friday for sugar test. This is requirements for a basketball tournament here. So more than 100 people had a medical check up last Friday.May concern only are I’m the last person to gone for a check up...
They use like a pen with the needle (Terumo Medisafe Lancet For Fine touch (Its Syringe and Hollow Needle) to ***** the skin so the blood will come up and they will use the apparatus for sugar test...
If the nurse is tired and forgot to change the lancet. My friend gave me a two box of Terumo Lancet. I tried to ***** my self for almost three times now (Pricked my self for almost one second) . The lancet is around 3 mm or 6 mm even I ***** my self for almost three times. There is no blood in the lancet. Even How may times I pricked my self .
Worst case scenario:
1. If there’s a blood on the lancet (hollow Needle) and reused to me by nurse. Do you think this isHepatitis risk?
2. . The alcohol can kill the Hepatitis Virus? Nurse swiped alcohol before he used the lancet to ***** my skin?

So my risk for hcv is so remote?
hbv is remote, not hcv
hcv risk is highest and it gets cronic on 80% infected

So my risk for hcv is so remote? theres a possibilities that i can get the hcv in the scenario? Small amount of blood will transfer to my bloodstream?
you are at no risk if you had vaccine and checked hbsab after vaccine (about 5% fails vaccine)
so just recheck hbsag to be more than 10miu/ml
the virus cant be killed by chemicals you need an autoclave and proper chemical to clean residue before autoclave otherwise autoclave fails.nothing else to kill hbv for sure...maybe 6hr in boiling water
do check for hiv and hcv too
I had a immunization vaccination when i was a child...Do you think im still risk in hepatitis b? And the lancet is very small..Do you think i have a risk in this scenario?
