? Panicking - dropped Prozinc vial

[Gill & Mac (UK)]

When I was preparing this morning's Prozinc syringe I had a fumble and managed to drop the vial.
Unfortunately it missed the breakfast bar I was sat at and fell to the uncarpeted floor. So fell about 3 feet and rolled a little way. I am not concerned about the roll as it would be like the roll i do between my hands but will the fall have caused any damage?
I checked the vial and there are no cracks or anything just a little dent in the side of the soft metal top. The insulin mixed fine, no lumps or anything
So I am hoping all is OK ? It is prozinc and about half full still.
Thank you for any help - I will post this on the prozinc site too but I knew this one can be busier so didn't know what to do for the best.
Thanks
Gill

Sorry you didnt get any replies. Looks like it was busy here last night. sigh...I dont know. There may be info in stickies on that forum about mishaps...One thing for sure if it isnt any good it will show in the "numbers"

As longf as the glass vial did not break the ProZinc is fine

I agree, if it's not cracked I wouldn't worry too much. Order your next vile when you have about 1/4 left in this one. You can keep it as an emergency supply in case you drop and break one. I always keep 1/4 of the last vial JUST in case.

You might want to do something to help prevent that in the future. A lot of people wrap a bunch of rubber bands around the vial ....it not only makes it easier to hold on to, it gives it a little bit of cushion if you drop it again
