OK. So your new gear has arrived. YAY. ok so what exactly do you do. just pull your pants down or lift your sleeve up and inject.. NO...

First of all you need to make sure you have all the proper supplies. Sterile needles, Sterile Syringes, alcohol pads, or alcohol and cotton balls. Personally I prefer the pads. And as Rusty and Nitti have mentioned you can also use Whatman filters.

When it comes to filters know this:

A 5-micron filter removes large particles that may have been introduced during product preparation, such as glass particles from glass ampules. The 0.22-micron filter is one of the smallest used in patient care, and removes bacteria. There are not currently filters that remove viruses. Apr 6, 2015

First thing first. ALWAYS WASH HANDS with soap and water, or if your hands are visibly not dirty you can use those hand sanitizers that kill off 99% of germs. Also, if you want and have, you can wear gloves after you have cleaned hands

For the needles and syringes it is best practice to use 1 needle and 1 syringe per injection. Make sure you inspect the packaging for damage, opened, contaminates, and EXPIRATION DATE. if any of those are present or expired discard and do not use.

OK. So now those have all passed inspections you are ready to withdraw your oil

Procedure for septum vials

Wipe the access diaphragm (septum) with 70% alcohol (isopropyl alcohol or ethanol) on a swab or cotton-wool ball before piercing the vial, and allow to AIR DRY before inserting a device into the bottle.

1. Use a sterile syringe and needle for each insertion into a multidose vial.

2. Never leave a needle in a multidose vial.

3. Once the loaded syringe and needle has been withdrawn from a multidose vial, administer the injection as soon as possible.

Procedure to disinfect skin:

1.Apply a 60–70% alcohol-based solution (isopropyl alcohol or ethanol) on a single-use swab or cotton- wool ball. DO NOT use methanol or methyl-alcohol as these are not safe for human use.

2.Wipe the area from the center of the injection site working outwards, without going over the same area.

3.Apply the solution for 30 seconds then allow it to dry completely. DO NOT BLOW IT DRY OR SWIPE IT DRY

Now you can inject. However, make sure you aspirate to ensure you are not in a blood vessel.
