5. USING YOUR INSULIN PEN WITH MALLYA
NOTE :
Once Mallya is attached to the insulin pen, the pen should be used just like a normal insulin
pen. Refer to the manufacturer’s injector pen Instructions for Use.
5.1 SECURITY TEST - PRIMING
WARNING
Always perform a priming (safety test) before each injection to ensure that:
Your pen and the needle are working properly,
The right dose of insulin will be injected.
If you do NOT perform the priming, you may receive too much or too little insulin (refer to the
manufacturer’s injector pen Instructions for Use).
.
5.1.1.
Follow the injectable insulin pen Instructions for Use to carry out the priming step.
.
5.1.2.
At the end of the priming step, keep the injection
knob pressed down:
-
While Mallya’s
green
LED is flashing,
-
Until Mallya emits an audible signal (BEEP)
signaling the end of the priming step.
WARNING
If the liquid does not come out of the needle tip during the safety test, do not use the pen
and refer to the manufacturer’s injector pen Instructions for Use for more information to solve
the problem.
5.1.3.
You can release the pressure on the knob when the green LED stops flashing and the
“BEEP” signaling the end of priming is emitted.
The Mallya application will automatically detect a “priming” if:
You are priming 1 or 2 unit(s), and
You perform your insulin injection just after the priming step (within 2 minutes)
CAUTION
If the time interval between the two consecutive injections exceeds 2 minutes, the
application will automatically detect an injection instead of a priming.
NOTE :
You can always change an injection recorded as a “dose” to a “priming”, or a “priming” to a
“dose” in case it has not been suitably categorized. Please refer to
step 6.2.2.
