What to do if the 3 mL PenFill
cartridge is nearly empty
25 If you use a suspension insulin
(white and cloudy), do not inject
if you can see the rubber piston
in the small inspection window. At
least 12 units of insulin must be
in the PenFill cartridge for
adequate mixing with the glass
ball.
With the NovoPen 3 PenMate
system, it is possible to select a
dose that is larger than the
number of units left in the PenFill
cartridge. If there is not enough
insulin in the PenFill cartridge for
the whole dose, you will be able
to see the number of units you
still need to inject in the dose
indicator window after the
injection.
To get the remaining units of your
dose, refer to Section 4 "Giving
the injection", Page14, a through
j.
When you get near to the end of a PenFill cartridge, you may need to give
yourself two injections to receive your full dose. Always check the dose indicator
window after giving an injection. If zero (0) does not show in the dose indicator
window, you did not receive your full dose. See Section 4 "Giving the injection"
on page 14 for instructions on how to get the remaining units of your dose.
