Important notes
•
Do not use NovoPen Echo® without proper
training
from your healthcare professional.
Make sure you are confident in making an
injection with the pen before you start your
treatment with it. Refresh the training at any
time by taking a look at the training video
online at novopenecho.com.
•
If you are blind or have severe visual
problems, do not use NovoPen Echo®
without help.
Get help from a person with
good eyesight who is trained to use NovoPen
Echo®.
•
ALWAYS test the insulin flow before each
injection.
Do not use the pen if insulin does
not squirt from the needle tip when you test
the insulin flow. If you do not test the insulin
flow, you may get too little or too much or no
insulin at all.
•
If you drop your pen,
check the insulin
cartridge for damages, for example cracks.
Replace the cartridge with a new one if
necessary.
•
If you accidentally twist your pen apart
between injections, it is important to test the
flow of insulin before your next injection. You
may need to do it several times before insulin
appears at the needle tip.
•
NovoPen Echo® is designed to be used
with PenFill® cartridge 3 mL and
NovoFine® or NovoTwist®
disposable
needles up to a length of 8 mm.
Novo Nordisk is not responsible
for harm
due to using NovoPen Echo® with products
other than these.
•
Always check the name and color of the
cartridge
to make sure that it contains the
type of insulin you need. This is especially
important if you take more than one type of
insulin.
•
Always carry a spare pen,
extra insulin of
the same type(s) you use, and new needles
with you in case of loss or damage.
•
Never share your pen,
insulin cartridges,
and needles with other people. They are for
your use ONLY.
•
Always keep your pen,
insulin cartridges,
and needles
out of sight and reach of
others, especially children.
• Always keep your pen with you.
Do not
leave it in a car or other place where it can
get too hot or too cold.
• Caregivers must
be very careful when
handling used needles
to reduce the risk
of needle sticks and cross-infection.
