Troubleshooting
Bleeding
A tiny pinprick bleed following administration
is not unusual for some people and can
simply be wiped off. If a larger amount of
blood is present you may have hit a capillary,
which is unlikely to happen next time. Apply
pressure to the administration site. This will
stop the bleeding in most cases.
If you experience any prolonged or severe
bleeding, it is recommended to stop using
the system.
Bruising
If you tend to bruise easily with a needle-
based device, you may bruise with the
InsuJet™ as well. Please consider using a
Comfort Ring, to reduce the pressure of the
Nozzle on your skin.
If you require a relatively large amount of
insulin, it may be worth splitting your dose;
E.g. 2 doses of 20 units each instead of 40
units at once.
If you experience any prolonged or severe
bruising, it is recommended to stop using
the system.
The InsuJet™ is a mechanical instrument
which is designed and manufactured with
greatest care. However, it may eventually fail
to operate properly. Always make sure you
have easy access to an alternative insulin
delivery system.
This section is designed to provide you with
tips on solving minor problems which you
may encounter when you use the InsuJet™
system.
