OWEN MUMFORD INC. OWNAJ1300 Autoject 2 Self-injection Aid Device Personal Healthcare / Health Care

Works very well! However, after 200 injections, not 199 or 201 the Autojector failed and needed replacing! Not like my vibrator where I heated it up and bent the plastic sideways and included batteries, it works wonderfully!

Updated** - Now using this product for a year. It's still working. Bought a second just in case it wears down, but have not had to use it. My dog is stable and happy. I don't think we would be at this point without this device. If purchasing this, never do a "dry run". It says in the instructions that dry runs will break the device. When testing this out I loaded a syringe with water and shot it into an unpeeled banana, so I could get the needle depth right without damaging the device. Worked perfectly. Also, if using this with a dog, the needles may be so small that the chart for measuring the depth adjuster may not apply. We had to screw the smallest top on all the way to get the right needle length exposure. I don't normally leave reviews, but this is a must. My dog has diabetes and he was okay with the injections for exactly 4 days, then he started fighting us. It was a two person job to give an injection and a stressful nightmare for everyone involved. I found someone who suggested this tool and immediately purchased it. Getting the right and most comfortable length for the needle took some experimenting, but we've got it sorted now and just found out our dog is officially a well-managed diabetic. I highly recommend this tool. It's easy to use and basically fool-proof. It turns a nightmare into a one person and doable job and I think has helped in getting our dog to "cruise-control". There are YouTube tutorials to help navigate using it and once you figure out the right needle length, it's set it and forget it. I didn't know if our dog was going to get to a stable point and I no longer dread meal time or even think about it outside of actually doing it. This gadget is a game changer and makes managing a diabetic dog possible, if your dog is like mine and kind of rude sometimes.

The spring is unbelievably violent, draws blood. I've had to move towards a 3d printed solution due to the inability to control time between dispersing the substance. Look up a author on printables called madmaxx890_199817 he has a solution that's SO much more gentle.

I got this device because I wasn’t sure how I would handle my medication injections, but as it turns out, the injections aren’t a big deal. I have used it on a few occasions. Once you have the depth set for your particular syringe, you’re good to go. Fill the syringe, load it into the bottom. Prime the top and connect the two parts. Press the Autoject against the skin and hit the button. Painless injection, and the needle is hidden from view. Easy peasy. What I hate is the price of this device here on Amazon. You can get it for around half the price from diabetes supply companies, so unless you need this item right away, I suggest you shop elsewhere and save some $$.

I recently switched from the Zepbound injection pens to vials. This tools made the transition seamless. Requires a onetime adjustment to set the needle depth. The instruction guide on how to do it is simple. Once its set, this tool works well. Highly recommend it for those that are seeking a seamless transition to vials.

This genuinely changed my life as someone with a life long fear of medical needles. It isn’t the easiest to use, you MUST follow the video instructions and be prepared to lose a couple needles. Once you calibrate it, you never have to calibrate it again. It uses a compressed spring that very quickly pushes the meds under your skin, and I genuinely didn’t feel even a pinch. Highly advise holding an ice pack to your injection site for 10 minutes prior as well. Love this thing!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I picked this brand because it has generally good reviews and there are videos to show how to use the device correctly. This is a fabulous product! I don't usually leave reviews, but this auto injector has been a game changer for me. I have a hard time with injections. With this auto injector, the needle is hidden, the needle gets automatically inserted in the skin when the injector button is pushed, and the plunger automatically is pressed down to inject the medication. I just use a bit of lidocaine cream about 10-15 minutes prior and I don't feel a thing or have any discomfort. The set up is a bit complicated, but I watched the video on the manufacturer's website and I am able to use the syringes sent with the meds even though they are not the brands listed in the directions pamphlet. You just need to practice with an empty syringe and make sure that the needle extends 6mm beyond the end of the device when the auto injector is activated. This device is totally worth it if you don't like poking yourself with a needle!

Did not work... Even my pharmacist could not get it to work.
