Indications

NovoPen 5 is a pen injector device primarily used for the self-injection of insulin.

NovoPen 5 is designed for individuals with diabetes who require insulin therapy.

The NovoPen 5 has a memory function that records the time and dose volume since the last injection. It combines the design and functionality of NovoPen 4 with the addition of the memory function, allowing users to track their insulin dosing history within the last 12 hours.

Use and Dosage

Before using the pen, make sure to carefully read the user guide provided with the device.

Insulin pens should be used with compatible insulin cartridges or penfills, as prescribed by the healthcare professional.

The dosage and frequency of insulin injections will be determined by the healthcare professional based on individual needs and blood glucose levels.

  • The pen should be primed before each use, as instructed by the manufacturer.
  • The injection site should be cleaned with an alcohol swab before administering the insulin.
  • The pen should be held firmly against the skin and the injection button pressed to deliver the dose.
  • After the injection, the needle should be removed, and the pen should be properly stored according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
