Novo Nordisk Insulin Pen

Product Details:

The NovoPen 4 is a durable, reusable insulin delivery device used by individuals with diabetes for the self-administration of insulin. It is designed to simplify daily diabetes management through accurate dosing and a user-friendly mechanical design.
Primary Uses
Insulin Self-Injection: Specifically designed for the subcutaneous (under the skin) injection of insulin to control blood sugar levels in both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
Precise Dosing: Allows users to dial specific insulin doses from 1 to 60 units in increments of 1 unit.
Treatment Support: Used with various types of insulin (rapid-acting, long-acting, or pre-mixed) as prescribed by a physician.
Compatibility Requirements
The NovoPen 4 is not a standalone product and must be used with specific components:
Cartridges: Compatible only with 3 ml Penfill insulin cartridges from Novo Nordisk.
Needles: Designed for use with NovoFine or NovoTwist disposable needles (recommended lengths up to 8 mm).
Key Benefits
Audible Confirmation: Features an "end-of-dose click" that provides an auditory cue when the full dose has been delivered.
Low Injection Force: Engineered with a mechanical system that requires less manual pressure to inject, which is particularly beneficial for users with limited hand strength or dexterity.
Durability: Built with high-quality metal construction designed to last for at least 5 years.
Dose Memory: Includes a visual dose display and a mechanism that counts down to zero during delivery to help confirm the amount injected.
Safety and Storage
Storage: The pen should be stored at room temperature (below 30C) when a cartridge is in use. Unopened cartridges should be refrigerated.
Maintenance: Always remove the needle immediately after each injection to prevent air from entering the cartridge or insulin from leaking.
Personal Use Only: Never share the pen or cartridges with others, even if the needle is changed, as it can spread infections.
