• 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.
