Step 13:
•
Put your thumb on the knob and push the knob all the way in
until it stops. You should hear the “clicking” as you push and
hold the knob in and
slowly count to 10
to give your full dose.
Step 14:
•
Pull the needle out of your skin.
•
If you see blood after you take the needle out of your skin, press
the injection site lightly with a piece of gauze or an alcohol
swab.
Do not
rub the area.
°
A drop or 2 of liquid on the needle tip is normal. It will not
affect your dose.
°
If you see more than 2 drops, you may not have received
your full dose.
Do not
inject another dose. Talk to your
doctor for help.
Step 15:
•
Carefully replace the outer needle cover by pushing straight
onto the end of the SymlinPen.
Step 16:
•
Unscrew the capped needle counterclockwise with the outer
needle cover on it and throw it away.
•
Do not
store the SymlinPen with the needle attached or with the
knob pulled out to prevent air bubbles.
Step 17:
•
Replace the pen cap.
