l
Autopen 24 should be used only after
consultation with your healthcare professional.
l
Autopen 24 is only for use with 3.0ml sanofi
aventis insulin cartridges.
l
Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions
provided with your insulin cartridges. Please
store your insulin at the temperature
recommended by the manufacturer.
l
Before each injection check that the Autopen 24
contains the correct insulin type, as prescribed
by your healthcare professional.
l
Always ensure that Autopen 24 has been
primed in accordance with the instructions
detailed in steps 6 & 7. Failure to follow the
exact priming procedures could result in an
inaccurate dose being delivered.
l
The needle should be removed and safely
disposed of immediately after each injection. If
the needle is left on it may become blocked and
affect the dose delivered.
l
If when removing the pen needle any
seepage of insulin is found, it is possible that
you may not have injected the full insulin
dose. Do not try to make up for the shortfall in
your insulin dose by giving a second injection
(otherwise you will be at risk from low blood
sugar). As a precaution we suggest you
check your blood sugar at regular intervals
and refer to your insulin instructions for use or
contact your healthcare professional.
l
Consult your healthcare professional should
you encounter abnormal blood glucose levels.
