5. Full dose cannot
be dialed.
6. A small amount
of insulin
remains in the
cartridge but a
dose cannot be
dialed.
The Pen design prevents the
cartridge from being completely
emptied. The Pen has delivered
300 units of usable insulin.
Problem
Action
The Pen will not allow you to dial a
dose greater than the number of
insulin units remaining in the
cartridge.
For example, if you need
31 units and only 25 units remain in
the Pen, you will not be able to dial
past 25. Do not attempt to dial past
this point. (The insulin that remains is
unusable and not part of the
300 units.) If a partial dose remains
in the Pen you may either:
1) Give the partial dose and then give
the remaining dose using a new
Pen, or
2) Give the full dose with a new Pen.
