INTRODUCTION

17

NovoPen® 3 PenMate® is a replacement component specifically designed to be used

18

with the NovoPen 3 insulin pen. NovoPen 3 PenMate helps you to insert the needle and

19

to give injections quickly and easily.  With NovoPen 3 and NovoPen 3 PenMate, you can

20

dial doses in units of one from 2 to 70 units.

21

NovoPen 3 PenMate should only be used in combination with products that are

22

compatible and allow the device to function safely and effectively.

23

NovoPen 3 PenMate is designed to be used with:

24

§

 

NovoPen® 3

25

§

 

PenFill® 3 mL cartridges

26

§

 

NovoFine® 30G/8 mm and NovoFine® 31G/6 mm needles.

27

NovoFine disposable needles are for single-use only.

28
29

The NovoPen 3 PenMate can be used the same way as the NovoPen 3 insulin pen.  Its

30

design allows you to use the same recommended injection technique as for the NovoPen

31

3 insulin pen.

33

This booklet contains instructions for using, storing, and cleaning NovoPen 3 PenMate in

34

combination with NovoPen 3.  Please follow them carefully. You should read these

36

NovoPen 3 PenMate before.  The two following pages provide illustrations of both the
