Step 1: Roll the pen and attach the needle.

Step 2: Prime 2 units to ensure a drop of insulin appears at the tip of the needle. This confirms the needle is patent.

Step 3: Select the dose of insulin you need.

1. Wash both hands with soap and water.
2. Dry hands with a tissue paper or a hand towel.
3. Select the injection site at the abdominal area.
   ​
4. Cleanse the injection site with an alcohol swab.
5. Wait for the alcohol to dry.
6. Lift the skinfold using a thumb and the index finger.
   ​
7. Inject the insulin at 90 degrees perpendicular to the injection site.
   ​
8. Inject the dose by pressing the push-button all the way in until '0'.
9. Keep the push-button fully depressed after the injection until the needle has been withdrawn from the skin. The needle must remain under the skin for at least 6 seconds to ensure that the full dose has been injected.
10. Place the outer needle cap on the table. Without holding on to the outer needle cap, direct the needle tip into the bigger outer needle cap. This is to prevent finger stick injury. When the needle is covered, unscrew the needle for disposal.
11. Discard the used pen.

Note: Each insulin pen is for single person use only.
