First Use Instructions — Priming the Pen

Medication flows properly

Dosing accuracy is maintained

Steps to Prime

  1. 1

    Remove the pen cap

  2. 2

    Attach a new disposable pen tip by screwing it onto the pen

  3. 3

    Remove the protective cover from the pen tip

  4. 4

    Hold the pen upright, with the tip pointing upward

  5. 5

    Turn the dial forward 3 clicks

  6. 6

    Press the injection button fully to release

Check for a small amount of fluid at the tip. If no fluid appears, repeat the same process until fluid is visible. Once fluid appears, the pen is primed.

Priming is only required once before initial use.
