Put the needle and any empty NovoLog

Mix 70/30 FlexPen

or any

used NovoLog

Mix 70/30 FlexPen

still containing insulin in a sharps

container or some type of hard plastic or metal container with a screw

top such as a detergent bottle or empty coffee can. These containers

should be sealed and thrown away the right way. Check with your

healthcare provider about the right way to throw away used syringes

and needles. There may be local or state laws about how to throw away

used needles and syringes. Do not throw away used needles and

syringes in household trash or recycling bins.

The NovoLog

Mix 70/30 FlexPen

prevents the cartridge from being completely

emptied. It is designed to deliver 300 units.

M. Put the pen cap on the NovoLog

Mix 70/30 FlexPen

and store the NovoLog

Mix 70/30 FlexPen

without the

needle attached (see diagram M).

FUNCTION CHECK

If your NovoLog

Mix 70/30 FlexPen

is not working the right way, follow

the steps below:

Screw on a new NovoFine

needle

Remove the big outer needle cap and the inner needle

cap

Do an airshot as described in “Giving the airshot before

each injection”.

Put the big outer needle cap onto the needle. Do not

put on the inner needle cap.

Turn the dose selector so the dose indicator window

shows 20 units.

Hold the NovoLog

Mix 70/30 FlexPen

so the needle is

pointing down

Press the push-button all the way in.

The insulin should fill the lower part of the big outer needle cap (see

diagram N). If NovoLog

Mix 70/30 FlexPen

has released too much or too

little insulin, do the function check again. If the same problem happens

again, do not use your NovoLog

Mix 70/30 FlexPen

and contact Novo

Nordisk at 1-800-727-6500.
