Device for dosed dispensing of a medium from a container, which comprises a plunger, by depressing the plunger, and comprising: a housing; a dispensing mechanism with a dispensing element; an actuating element, which can be moved from a first stop to a second stop, wherein the actuating element is coupled to the dispensing element, such that, upon movement of the actuating element from the first stop to the second stop, the dispensing element depresses the plunger by a distance; and a setting mechanism (30, 31) for setting the distance travelled by the dispensing element for every movement of the actuating element from the first stop to the second stop, wherein the setting mechanism can be set in steps by rotation of a setting element and has at least a cylindrical wall section; characterised by the fact that the device comprises a display element, comprising: a slot-shaped opening in the housing through which a slot-shaped portion of the cylindrical wall section can be seen from outside the housing; and a tabular list of the quantities that are dispensed upon movement of the actuating element from the first stop to the second stop for a predetermined number of different types of syringes at various step-like settings of the setting mechanism (30, 31), wherein the tabular list is arranged on the cylindrical wall section, wherein the columns of the tabular list each specify the dispensed quantity per actuation of the actuating element for the different types of syringes at the particular setting of the setting mechanism, while the rows specify the dispensed quantity for a particular type of syringe at the various step-like settings of the setting mechanism (30, 31), wherein the slot-shaped opening is arranged relative to the cylindrical wall section such that, for a given setting step of the setting mechanism (30, 31), the corresponding dispensed quantity per actuation of the actuating element can be seen for each type of syringe, and wherein information on the various types of syringes and/or information on the properties of the various types of syringes is located beside the slot-shaped opening at the housing. a housing;
