OptiClik - Getting to Know Your Opticlik Pen

Do not shake the Cartridge System before use. You should look at the solution in the Cartridge System before inserting it into OptiClik®. If the solution is cloudy, slightly colored, or has particles in it, do not use the Cartridge System.


	Make sure that the Dosage Knob is pushed in. The cartridge will not go in if the knob is not in this position. Hold the pen body with the Cartridge Release Button facing up.


	Check the label on your Cartridge System to make sure you have the correct insulin. Insert the Cartridge System straight into the pen. If you meet resistance, slightly raise and rotate the Cartridge System and click it to lock it into place. Do not force it.


	To make sure that the Cartridge System clicked into place properly, try to gently pull out the cartridge. It should not come out. Make sure you do not press the Cartridge Release Button during or after this check.

Do not store the OptiClik® pen (with or without the Cartridge System inserted) in a refrigerator! Refrigerating the reusable Pen Body may damage the electronic function of the pen.
