Important Notes
•
Read and follow all of these instructions carefully. If you
do not follow these instructions completely, you may get
too much or too little insulin.
•
Use a new needle for each injection.
•
Be sure a needle is completely attached to the Pen
before priming, setting (dialing) the dose and
injecting your insulin.
•
Prime every time.
•
The Pen must be primed before each injection to make
sure the Pen is ready to dose.
Performing the priming
step is important to confirm that insulin comes out when
you push the injection button, and to remove air that
may collect in the insulin cartridge during normal use.
See Section III. “Priming the Pen”, pages 10-13.
•
If you do not prime, you may get too much or too
little insulin.
•
Make sure you get a full dose.
• To make sure you get a full dose, you must push the
injection button all the way down until you see a
diamond (
◆
) or arrow (
➞
) in the center of the dose
window. See “Following an Injection”, page 18.
• The numbers on the clear cartridge holder give an estimate
of the amount of insulin remaining in the cartridge. Do not
use these numbers for measuring an insulin dose.
• Do not share your Pen.
