6.5 Attaching the needle
Align the needle onto the thread of the holder (or, in the case of insulin cartridges
made by the company Novo Nordisk
®
onto the thread of the insulin cartridge)
and screw the needle tight. To do this, hold the pen firmly by the holder so
that it does not come loose from the pen body. Always check that the needle
is firmly seated to be sure that the inner side of the needle has sufficiently
penetrated the insulin cartridge cap and that the insulin can thus flow freely
through the needle. You can first remove the outer and then - if present - the
inner protective cap on the needle.
Note:
Regarding the handling of needles, please also follow the instructions for use
of the respective manufacturer.
6.6 Switching on the ESYSTA
®
BT Pen
To switch on ESYSTA
®
BT Pen, press on the dosing button as you would a
ball-point pen, so that the dosing button pops out.
If the dosing button is to be unlocked when the display is switched off
("stand-by mode" after a long period of disuse with the dosing button unlocked),
push it in and unlock it again.
