Module 5: Preparing VetPen for use

Voiceover: Taking the proper steps to prepare the VetPen is critically important and must be done before each injection. As with human insulin pens, this process is an essential test to ensure that the VetPen is ready to use. This helps ensure: A new needle is being used The insulin is mixed properly The VetPen and needle are working properly

Voiceover: To begin preparing the VetPen for use, take a new needle and peel off the protective film. Screw the needle onto VetPen. And remove the outer protective needle cap from the needle.
A new needle should always be used for each injection for hygiene and safety reasons. Also, a used needle could be blunt or bent, which may cause discomfort.

Voiceover: Holding the VetPen vertically upward, push and hold the release button towards the needle until the arrow on the pen body points to the start line on the dose selector.
If air has been properly removed from the cartridge, insulin should drip actively or squirt out of the needle. The VetPen is now ready for use.
