Keep your Pen out of the reach of children.
Pens that have not been used should be stored in a refrigerator
but not in a freezer. Do not use a Pen if it has been frozen.
Refer to the
Information for the Patient insert for complete
storage instructions.
After a Pen is used for the first time, it should
NOT
be
refrigerated but should be kept at room temperature [below
86
°
F (30
°
C)] and away from direct heat and light.
An unrefrigerated Pen should be discarded according to the
time specified in the
Information for the Patient insert, even if
it still contains insulin.
Never use a Pen after the expiration date stamped on the label.
Do not store your Pen with the needle attached. Doing so may
allow insulin to leak from the Pen and air bubbles to form in the
cartridge. Additionally, with suspension (cloudy) insulins,
crystals may clog the needle.
Always carry an extra Pen in case yours is lost or damaged.
Dispose of empty Pens as instructed by your Health Care
Professional and without the needle attached.
This Pen is not recommended for use by blind or visually
impaired persons without the assistance of a person trained in
the proper use of the product.
The directions regarding needle handling are not intended to
replace local, Health Care Professional or institutional policies.
Any changes in insulin should be made cautiously and only
under medical supervision.
