Changing the Penfill® cartridge

I When the cartridge is nearly empty

When the cartridge is nearly empty

The cartridge scale on the Penfill® cartridge holder
shows the 

approximate

number of insulin units left

in the cartridge as in illustration A. 

Do not use the

cartridge scale to measure the amount of insulin 
to be injected. 

If the cartridge contains less than 60 units, the 

exact

number of units left can be read in the

display. To do this, pull out the dose button, if it is
not already pulled out, and turn it until it stops. The
number of units left will line up with the dose
indicator as in illustration B. If the dose indicator is
positioned between two lines, adjust to the lower
of the two lines.

B

Approx. 
150 units left 

Number of units left lines
up with dose indicator

Risk of damaging your Novolin-Pen® 4

Do not force the dose button to turn as this
can damage your Novolin-Pen® 4.
