Bioinjector
May 29, 2006

Hi Carol,

I am an HIV nurse at the University of Michigan HIV Program. We have a connection for patients wanting to try the Bioinjector for their Fuzeon injections. We have several of our patients who use it currently and love it. The two drawbacks...first you have to make one trip to Chicago for Bioinjector training...second...we have seen a couple of our patients injector too close to a nerve and have numbness of the fingers for a few days. Call if you want info.

Take care....

Response from Ms. Salisbury

Hi, Thanks for the information. I actually was trained on the bioinjector but our site was dropped for the clinical trial. I will call you for information. Thanks Carol
