            OSAKA, Japan - Shimadzu Corp., a comprehensive precision equipment maker, said it will begin selling on Sept. 13 a needle-free device (photo) to inject insulin into diabetes patients. The device, called Shima JET, has a plastic nozzle instead of a needle through which insulin is injected into a patient by means of spring-generated pressure, Shimadzu said, adding it therefore does not cause as much pain as a needle. The Kyoto-based company will market Shima JET to hospitals and other medical institutions for 80,000 yen.
