INJECTING YOUR DOSE
8. Make sure the arrow
body points to the starting line
dose selector.
The 1 Unit 3.0 ml Autopen dose selector
measures up to 21 units of insulin in 1 unit
increments.
The 2 Unit 3.0 ml Autopen dose selector
measures up to 42 units of insulin in 2 unit
increments.
Now dial up the number of units required.
Make sure before injecting that the arrow
points towards the correct number of units
on the dose selector.
Never attempt to 'dial back' the dose selector,
as doing so may damage the Autopen and
result in inaccurate dosing.
If at any time the dose has been over
dialled, we recommend that the incorrect
dose is fully expelled into air and the
required dose is redialled.
9. Insert the needle (use the injection technique
recommended by your healthcare professional),
slide the release button towards the pen needle
and hold down until the starting line on the
dose selector returns to the arrow on the body
and continue holding the release button

down for 10 seconds. Then remove the needle
from the skin.
If the dose selector stops before the
starting line returns to the arrow, this
indicates that you have not received a full
dose. The dose selector will show the
number of units that must be injected to
complete the insulin dose.
Before making subsequent injections
always make sure that a NEW pen needle is
used, and the Autopen is primed (see steps
5, 6 & 7) and a drop of insulin is at the
needle tip. If necessary repeat steps 6 & 7.
