• Hold the black cartridge holder and unscrew the needle. Throw
it away carefully as your doctor or nurse has instructed you.
•
Put the pen cap on
your pen after each use to protect the
insulin from light.
• Store your pen carefully. The pen should be
out of sight and
reach of others, especially children,
see page 31
on how to
store the pen.
Always hold the black cartridge holder when you
unscrew the needle.
Otherwise you may twist your pen
apart. If this happens, twist the pen together again. Replace
the needle and test the insulin flow before your next
injection to make sure you get your full dose.
Always remove and throw away the used needle
safely, for example in a sharps container, as instructed
by your doctor or nurse.
This reduces the risk of blocked
needles, contamination, infection and inaccurate dosing. Do
not store your pen with a needle attached.
