1. Introduction
This user guide will explain how to use your InPen™ and
the InPen™ Application (app). Read it carefully before
you use your InPen™.
You should read this manual before use – even
if you have used the InPen™ before. Failure to
follow the instructions may result in too much or too
little insulin being delivered.
Important: Do not share your InPen ™or needles as
infection or disease can be spread from one person to
another.
If any of the parts of your InPen™ appear broken or
damaged, DO NOT USE. Contact Customer Service by
tapping
Settings
from the Home screen and selecting
Help and Support
for a replacement.
InPen™ is not recommended for the blind or visually
impaired without the assistance of a sighted individual
trained to use it. Always carry a spare insulin delivery
device in case your InPen™ is lost or damaged.
The InPen™ App is a diabetes management tool that
helps track your insulin doses, calculate insulin doses
using current glucose and carbohydrates, and share
your therapy with your healthcare professional and
family members.
The insulin dose calculations provided by the app are
meant for patients undergoing subcutaneous multiple
daily injection (MDI) therapy. Dose calculators have
been shown to assist in the optimization of glycemic
control in MDI patients under the supervision of
healthcare professionals experienced in managing
insulin-treated patients. Dose calculators have also
been shown to reduce patient fear of hypoglycemia
and improve patient confidence in diabetes
management.
Dose calculators also track residual bolus insulin to
mitigate insulin stacking.
