Description
Pen Device: This insulin pen is designed to help people with diabetes administer insulin conveniently by themselves. Its pen-shaped design and easy-to-operate cartridge system make insulin administration, dose selection, dose correction and cartridge replacement simpler. The device can deliver doses ranging from 1 to 60 units and is designed for use with compatible 3 mL insulin cartridges. If a higher dose is selected accidentally, the dose can be adjusted before injection without wasting insulin.
Pen Needle:
- A 4 mm needle may help reduce the likelihood of accidental intramuscular injection compared with a 6 mm needle.
- The needle is designed to help minimize the possibility of bending or breakage during use.
- The 4 mm needle length is suitable for subcutaneous insulin administration across different BMI ranges.
- Designed to work with most commonly used insulin pen devices for convenient use.
Indications
Use the injection method advised by your physician or healthcare professional. To administer the dose, press the injection button completely and keep it pressed while the medicine is being delivered. Once the full dose has been injected, keep the needle in place for approximately 6 seconds before slowly withdrawing it from the skin. During this 6-second period, the injection button may either remain pressed or be released.
Dosage
- Take off the pen cap.
- Turn the cartridge sleeve and detach it from the main pen body.
- If an empty cartridge is present, remove it.
- Place a new compatible cartridge into the cartridge sleeve.
- Push the threaded rod fully back into its starting position.
- Reconnect the cartridge sleeve to the pen body by turning it securely into place.
Attaching the Pen Needle
- Remove the protective peel seal from the new pen needle.
- Screw the needle securely onto the cartridge sleeve and make sure it is properly attached.
- Remove the outer needle cap and keep it aside, as it will be needed when removing the needle safely after the injection.
- Take off the inner needle cap and discard it.
Priming / Checking the Pen
- Turn the dose selector clockwise and set a test dose of at least 2 units.
- Hold the pen with the needle pointing upward and gently tap the cartridge sleeve so that any trapped air moves toward the top.
- Press the injection button completely.
- Check the needle tip. A few drops of insulin should appear, confirming that the pen is ready for use.
Removing the Needle After Injection
The pen needle should be removed after every injection. Carefully place the outer needle cap back over the needle, then unscrew the needle from the pen. Dispose of the used needle safely according to the instructions provided by your physician or healthcare professional.
