Directions
When using an Allstar Pro insulin pen, there are some critical steps that need to be followed, as outlined below:
- Insert a Sanofi insulin cartridge into the pen.
- Attach a new, sterile needle before each injection.
- Perform a safety test to ensure that both the pen and needle are working properly. Set the dose to 2 units and press the dose button fully. You should see a drop of insulin appear at the needle tip. If this isn't the case, you may have to change the needle and check the cartridge. You may need to repeat the safety test up to 3 times.
- Select your prescribed dose and inject insulin as instructed by your healthcare provider. Hold the dose button down and count to 10.
- Remove and discard the needle safely, then put the pen cap back on the insulin pen. Store the pen with the insulin cartridge remaining inserted.
- Do not refrigerate or freeze the pen; store it at room temperature (follow insulin instructions), away from direct sunlight.
- When cleaning the device, use a damp cloth only.

Cautions
In order to use Allstar Pro insulin pen safely and effectively, start by inserting the correct cartridges (Sanofi 3 mL (300 units) U-100 insulin cartridges). If the pen is damaged or not working correctly, do not use it and always carry a backup method to deliver insulin. Additionally, you should never share your pen or cartridges with others or reuse needles. Never skip the safety test mentioned above and use separate pens for different types of insulin. Ensure that you never press the button without a needle attached or force-press the button if it is hard to press. Finally, ask for help if you have problems with self-injection, and keep the Allstar Pro insulin pen out of reach of children.
