wELcoME To cool.click™ 2 NEEDLE-FREE DELivERY DEvicE
Your doctor has decided to treat you with a EMD Serono growth hormone medication that can
be easily administered using cool.click™ 2, a needle-free delivery device.
cool.click™ 2 is a totally needle-free delivery device exclusively intended for the injection of EMD
Serono growth hormone [somatropin (rDNA origin) for injection].
cool.click™ 2 works by firing a jet of the liquid drug directly through the skin to the subcutaneous
region. The jet is created through a powerful spring acting on a piston inside a nozzle, and the
liquid is forced out through a small hole in the nozzle at high speed. Prior to each injection the
spring must be charged by winding the device. The required dose is then drawn up into the
nozzle, and then the device is discharged with the nozzle held against the skin by pushing the
release button.
Before you get started with cool.click™ 2, please complete these easy steps:
• Thoroughly read this instructions for use before you practice using cool.click™ 2.
• Fold out the front cover of this instructions for use. You will find a photograph of cool.click™ 2
with each of its parts clearly labeled.
This instructions for use will show you how to use cool.click™ 2 with a practice cartridge (or vial)
that comes in your Patient Starter Kit. After you are comfortable using the device on a pad, you’ll
learn how to administer your Growth Hormone medication using cool.click™ 2.
