Microfine+ Insulin Pen Needles Gauge 31 5mm 100 Pieces

Description
Sterile single-use devices, intended to be used with pen injectors for the subcutaneous injection of medications by caregivers, inexperienced individuals, or healthcare professionals.
Intended for use with compatible pen injectors for the subcutaneous injection of medications. The list of the most common compatible pen injectors with embecta pen needles is provided on the packaging.
The clinical benefit of pen needles is the ability to deliver a medication contained in the cartridge of pen injectors into the subcutaneous tissue. When the correct injection technique is performed, the medication can be administered while limiting effects on the tissue at the injection site, promoting patient satisfaction.

Instructions for Use
1. Check the expiration date on the needle seal before removing it.
2. Push the needle straight onto the pen and screw it on tightly.
3. Remove the outer needle cover and set it aside.
4. To expose the needle, remove the inner needle cover and dispose of it. If both the outer needle cover and the inner needle cover are not removed before use, the medication will not be injected, which could cause serious injury or death.
5. Check the flow of the medication by turning the dial as per the pen instructions and injecting into the air. If no drops are observed, repeat the process. If drops appear, turn the dial to select the prescribed dose; otherwise, replace the needle and repeat all steps.
6. Check the length of the pen needle on the packaging. For needles longer than 5 mm, pinch the skin. Insert the needle into the skin straight.
7. Press and hold the button with your thumb for up to 10 seconds.
Do not reapply the inner needle cover to the device.
8. To safely recap, place the outer needle cover on a flat surface. Gently push the pen needle into the outer cover with one hand.
9. Unscrew the pen needle from the pen.
10. Dispose of the product in accordance with local regulations and the medical facility's biohazard waste protocols.

Warnings
Do not reuse the device. Reuse may be associated with thickening of the subcutaneous fat. This can alter insulin absorption, making blood glucose control less predictable. Additional risks associated with reusing the device may include: pain at the injection site, inflammation, bleeding, bruising, local infection, hyperglycemia (inability for the needle to penetrate the skin), medical intervention (needle breakage inside the skin), and fever caused by a pyrogenic needle.
Do not share used pen needles with others.
Keep out of reach of children.
Consult a healthcare professional if advice is needed on the recommended needle length or injection technique, if difficulties are experienced in using the device, if potential injuries have occurred, or if there has been exposure to cross-contamination.
The following residual risks are associated with the pen needle: pain at the injection site, inflammation, bleeding, bruising, thickening, local infection, allergic reaction, hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and medical intervention (needle breakage inside the skin). Needle punctures can cause cross-contamination (infection) with blood pathogens. A pyrogenic needle can cause fever.
There is insufficient clinical evidence to demonstrate safety and efficacy in newborns. Consult your healthcare professional.
Used pen needles must be disposed of in designated sharps or non-sharp containers, clearly marked.
