Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The PharmaJet needle-free injection system is a consistent approach to delivering injectates into the dermal layer of the human skin for the purpose of vaccination or medication delivery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Up to 400 children, ages 2 months through 14 years

1. To assess measures of injection performance, including estimates of injection completeness by collecting residual surface moisture with filter paper that will be circled with indelible ink; the volume will be compared to a reference set of moisture recordings.
2. To document completeness of injections; completeness is defined as \<10% of 0.1 ml volume remaining on the skin surface immediately after injection. Measurement of the bleb size following injection will recorded in millimeters.
3. To ensure device is well received by subjects. Subject's response to the injection will be noted by the subject and/or family members after the procedure for up to 48 hours.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Infants and children between ages 2 months and 14 years
* Outpatient, expected to go home day of surgery
* Written consent and assent when appropriate
* Willing to complete and return pain diary (postcard) after 48 hours

Exclusion Criteria

* Presently have skin rash at the intended injection site
* Have a history of use of any topical or systemic medications at the intended injection site that could have potentially altered the normal physical properties of the skin (i.e. atrophy from chronic steroid use, thinning of the skin from topical or systemic retinoids).
* Have a permanent physical change in the skin at the intended injection site, such as burns, scars or prior radiation therapy.
* Skin disorders that may predispose them to develop skin lesions at sites of trauma.
* Present use of any blood thinning medications.
* In the 10-11 year old cohort, none of the participants can have started puberty.
