Preparing your SymlinPen:
•
Wash your hands with soap and water.
•
Check the SymlinPen label before each use to make sure you have
the right SymlinPen.
•
Check the expiration date (EXP) on the SymlinPen label (See Figure
A).
Do not
use the SymlinPen past the expiration date printed on the
label.
•
Check the liquid in your SymlinPen to make sure you have enough
SYMLIN left in your SymlinPen to load your correct dose.
°
The lines on the cartridge show about how much SYMLIN is
left in your SymlinPen. When the top of the plunger is at the
thickest line on the cartridge, your SymlinPen is almost empty
(See Figure C).
Attaching a Needle:
Step 1:
•
Pull the pen cap straight off the SymlinPen and wipe the rubber
seal with an alcohol swab.
Step 2:
•
Get a new needle
•
Peel off the paper tab and throw it away.
Step 3:
•
Push the capped needle straight onto the end of the SymlinPen
and twist the needle clockwise until it is tight.
