6.7 Venting specified by the ESYSTA
®
BT Pen
If the display shows “Pr” (“priming”), the ESYSTA
®
BT Pen requires venting,
e.g. after inserting a new insulin cartridge, in order to remove any air contained
in the insulin cartridge and to fill the injection needle with insulin.
To do this, unlock the dosing button and set at least 2 units (2 ratchet positions)
by turning the dosing button in the direction of the arrow (the display shows
"Pr” in the left-hand section and in the right-hand section the display will flash
with the venting dose set). Hold the ESYSTA
®
BT Pen with the needle pointing
upwards so that the air can collect at the needle. Then push the dosing button
in until it locks into place. The display now goes out and the units set are
saved as venting units. If no insulin visibly emerges from the tip of the needle
after this venting procedure (irrespective of the insulin preparation and the fill
level of the insulin cartridge), you will need to carry out further venting until the
insulin preparation emerges from the needle. These venting procedures will
be shown in the ESYSTA
®
Portal as venting only if you proceed according to
Chapter 6.8.
6.8 Marking and carrying out additional venting
To carry out further venting and to have this identified as such in
the ESYSTA
®
Portal, unlock the dosing button again so that the
ESYSTA
®
BT Pen is switched on (see Chapter 5). Now set one ratchet
position (1 IU) by turning the dosing button in the direction of the arrow -
without pushing the dosing button in - and then turn it against the direction
