Tips and advice
If you are unable to set the required dose, check that
there is sufficient insulin in the insulin reservoir. If
there is not enough insulin left in your SoloStar,
you can do one of the following:
- Use the number of units of insulin left in your
current SoloStar and inject the remainder of the
dose from a new SoloStar, or
- Inject the full dose using a new SoloStar.
Hold the button in
Insulin may continue dripping out of the needle for
some time after you have pressed the injection
button. You have to hold the button in for 10
seconds to make sure you get the full dose.
Storage of your SoloSTAR
Always keep an extra SoloStar in case you loose
the one you are using or if it breaks for some
reason.
Before use
Keep the SoloStar in a refrigerator until you need
to start using it. When you take a new SoloStar
from the refrigerator, it should be left at room
temperature for 1 to 2 hours before use.
In use
Once you have taken a SoloStar out of the
refrigerator, the insulin can be used for 28 days.
During this time, you can keep your SoloStar at
room temperature, but not above 25°. Do not put
the SoloStar back into the refrigerator or chiller
pack.
Do not leave your SoloStar anywhere where it
might become overheated. Protect the SoloStar
from sunlight.
After 28 days you have to throw away your
SoloStar whether or not there is any insulin left.
Do not use your SoloStar after the expiry date
shown on the pen or on the box.
If you need to clean the outside of your SoloStar,
you can wipe it down using a damp cloth. Do not
soak or wash your SoloStar, and avoid using soap
or solvents.
