PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL BEFORE USE

Read the User Manual before you start taking your insulin and each time you get another KwikPen.

There may be new information. This information does not take the place of talking to your healthcare

professional about your medical condition or your treatment.

KwikPen ("Pen") is a disposable pre-filled pen containing 3ml (300 units, 100 units/ml) of insulin. You

can give yourself multiple doses using one Pen. The Pen dials 1 unit at a time. You can give from 1 to

60 units in a single injection. If your dose is more than 60 units, you will need to give yourself more

than one injection. The plunger only moves a little with each injection, and you may not notice that it

moves. The plunger will only reach the end of the cartridge when you have used all 300 units in the

Pen.

Do not share your pen with other people, even if the needle has been changed. Do not reuse or

share needles with other people. You may give an infection to them or get an infection from them.

This Pen is not recommended for use by the blind or visually impaired without the help of someone

trained to use the Pen.
