conducting safety test
Hold OptiClik® with the needle pointing up. Press the Dosage Knob in all the way until it stays in place. At least 1 droplet of insulin must appear at the tip of the needle. If it does not, go back to step 1 and perform the test again. Inserting a new Cartridge System may require several repetitions of the Safety Test. If, after several tries, no insulin appears, the Cartridge System may be damaged, the needle may be blocked, or there may still be air bubbles. You may need to change the needle or Cartridge System before trying the Safety Test again.
