SECTION 1 (cont.)
12 Clean the front rubber stopper on
the PenFill cartridge with an
alcohol swab.
You must wipe the front rubber
stopper with an alcohol swab
before each injection, even if you
are using the same PenFill
cartridge.
13 Remove the protective tab from
the NovoFine disposable needle.
Screw the NovoFine disposable
needle firmly onto the threaded
plastic cap of the PenFill
cartridge until it is tight.
Pull off the outer and inner
needle caps.
For users of a suspension
insulin (white and cloudy),
always remix the insulin in the
PenFill cartridge before each
injection.
You will find instructions on how
to remix the suspension insulin in
the PenFill cartridge in the 3 mL
PenFill cartridge "Information For
The Patient" leaflet.
Never place a NovoFine disposable needle on your NovoPen 3 PenMate
system until you are ready to do an air shot and give an injection. If the
NovoFine needle is left on, some insulin may leak out from the PenFill
cartridge. This may cause a change in the concentration (strength) of a
suspension insulin (white and cloudy).
