Biojector® 2000

The Biojector® 2000 is an innovative, versatile needle-free injection system that has been used to deliver millions of injections in a wide range of healthcare settings. The Biojector® has many unique features, including the ability to deliver both intramuscular and subcutaneous injections up to 1 mL in volume. Since its introduction in 1993, the Biojector® has set a new standard for the comfort, safety, and convenience of injection equipment.

The Biojector® has FDA clearance for delivering subcutaneous or intramuscular injections of liquid medication, including vaccines and other injected medications.

Because there is no needle, the Biojector® provides healthcare workers with an unparalleled level of protection against accidental needlestick injuries. In high-risk situations, such as delivering injections to patients known to be infected with HIV or Hepatitis, the Biojector® is an ideal injection system.

The Biojector® works by the same principle as all of Bioject's needle-free injection systems: by forcing liquid medication through a tiny orifice that is held against the skin. This creates a very fine, high-pressure stream of medication that penetrates the skin, depositing medication in the tissue beneath.

The system has three components: a durable injection device, a disposable needle-free syringe, and a CO₂ cartridge.

Unique Injector Design

The Biojector® 2000 injector is designed with rugged construction for use in professional healthcare settings. Each device is thoroughly tested and rated to deliver over 100,000 injections. The Biojector® was ergonomically designed for right or left handed users.

Sterile, Single-Use Biojector® Syringe

The Biojector® is the first needle-free injector in history to deliver medications from a sterile single-use syringe. This plastic syringe is the only part of the system that comes in contact with the patient's skin. After each injection, the used syringe is discarded and a new one is inserted for the next injection. Because the syringe is needle-free, it does not have to be discarded in a "sharps" container, decreasing the amount of costly, hazardous "sharps" waste.

Energy Source

The Biojector® is energized by a small CO₂ cartridge. Each CO₂ cartridge delivers between 10 and 15 injections with proper technique. Replacing the CO₂ cartridge is a simple procedure, described in the Biojector® instruction manual. The CO₂ never comes in contact with the medication.

The Biojector® Tank Adapter adds the convenience of a large CO₂ tank to the Biojector® 2000 System. For mass immunization programs, such as for military troops, the Tank Adapter offers a major logistical advantage by eliminating the need to replace CO₂ cartridges.

Easy to Use

Using the Biojector® 2000 to deliver injections is easy. Just follow these simple steps (for full instructions, see Biojector® 2000 Instruction Manual):

1. Draw medication into the syringe (if you are unsure of which Bioject Syringe to choose, check the Guide to Selection and Use of Biojector® Syringes, or call 800.683.7221)
2. Insert the syringe into the Biojector
3. Using firm pressure at the injection site, hold the injector at a 90° angle
4. Press the blue actuator button

Preferred by Patients

In numerous surveys conducted by Bioject, patients consistently prefer the Biojector® 2000 over needle-and-syringe. Most patients fear the pain and discomfort of needle-based injections. However, Bioject does not claim that its systems are painless. Some medications and vaccines, for instance, can cause burning and stinging sensations because of their formulations, which are independent of the injection method. For highly needle-phobic patients, such as small children, the Biojector® has optional "Elephant Ears," which can help reduce anxiety.
