Instructions for Filling the Cartridge
1. Inspect the cartridge package for any signs of damage.
Discard any damaged product.
2. Open the package and remove the cartridge.
3. Hold the cartridge upright and gently insert the needle into the white
insulin fill port on the cartridge (see image E). The needle is not intended
to go all the way in, so do not force it.
4. Keeping the syringe vertically aligned with the cartridge, and the needle
inside the fill port, pull back on the plunger until it is fully retracted
(see image F). This will remove any residual air from the cartridge.
Bubbles will rise toward the plunger.
5. Make sure the needle is still in the fill port and release the plunger.
Pressure will pull the plunger to its neutral position but it will NOT
push any air back inside the cartridge (see image G).
