487
488 without the assistance of a sighted individual who knows how to use NovoPen 3

502 Guidelines for storing the NovoPen 3 PenMate and PenFill 3 mL cartridges:
§
503 Store the NovoPen 3 PenMate (with the PenFill cartridge inside) at room
504 temperature. Do not store the NovoPen 3 PenMate in a refrigerator or areas where
505 there may be extreme temperatures or moisture, such as your car. Once the cartridge
506 is punctured, it can be kept at room temperature for the length of time identified in
507 the storage information section of the Information For The Patient supplied with the
508 PenFill cartridges.
§
509 Store the NovoPen 3 PenMate without the NovoFine needle attached and with the
510 pen cap in position. Leaving the needle on can cause the insulin to leak. This will
511 affect the concentration of an insulin suspension.
§
512 For information on storing PenFill cartridges, see the package insert that comes in
513 the PenFill cartridge box. Once the cartridge is punctured, it can be kept at room
514 temperature for the length of time identified in the storage information section of the
515 Information For The Patient supplied with the PenFill cartridges. The expiration
516 date on the cartridge is for unused cartridges under refrigeration.
