NovoPen 3 PenMate Instruction Manual
Page 15
FDA revision #4 (final)
208
Never place a NovoFine disposable needle on your NovoPen 3 PenMate until you are
209
ready to do an air shot and give an injection. If the NovoFine needle is “left on”,
210
some liquid may leak out of the PenFill cartridge. This may cause a change in the
211
strength of Novolin 70/30 or Novolin N insulin.
212
213
214
SECTION 2
Air shot before each injection
215
216
Air shot before each injection
217
218
11
The PenFill cartridge may contain an air bubble, and small amounts of air may
219
collect in the needle and PenFill cartridge when you use them. To avoid the injection
220
of air and ensure proper dosing, you must perform an air shot prior to each injection.
221
222
§
Check that the dial-a-dose selector is set at zero.
223
§
Dial 2 units. Hold the NovoPen 3 PenMate with the needle upwards and tap
224
gently near the window of NovoPen 3 PenMate with your finger a few times.
225
§
Press the push button at the end of the barrel all the way in.
226
227
A drop of insulin should appear at the needle tip.
228
If not, repeat the procedure until a drop of insulin appears. There may still be some small
229
air bubble(s) in the PenFill cartridge after this, but they will not affect your dose and they
230
will not be injected.
231
232
If you dial more than 2 units, DO NOT turn the dial back to zero (0).
If you do, the
233
extra insulin will squirt out of the needle. You may complete the air shot with the
234
number of units you have dialed or refer to the instructions on how to reset the dose to
235
zero in step 14.
