How to care for your pen
Care
• Only use your NovoPen Echo®
as
described in this guide.
•
Do not drop your pen
or knock it against
hard surfaces. If you drop it or suspect a
problem, check the insulin cartridge for
damages, for example cracks. Replace the
cartridge with a new one if necessary.
• Keep your pen away
from direct sunlight,
and do not expose it to dust, dirt, or liquid.
• Do not expose your pen
(without an
insulin cartridge inserted) to temperatures
below -13°F or above +113°F. With an
insulin cartridge inserted, please see the
storage instructions in the PenFill® cartridge
3 mL leaflet that comes with the PenFill®
cartridge 3 mL package.
• Do not try to repair your pen
or pull it
apart.
• The battery lasts for four to five years. For your
safety it is non-replaceable. When the battery
is dead, contact your supplier to get a new
pen. You can still use your pen for insulin
delivery without using the dose memory.
Cleaning
•
Only clean your pen
with mild detergent
on a moistened cloth.
•
Do not wash, soak, or lubricate your
pen,
and do not use products containing
bleaching agents, such as chlorine, iodine,
or alcohol to clean your pen. This may
damage it.
• If there is insulin on the outside of your pen,
clean it before it dries up
with mild
detergent on a moistened cloth.
