fit perfectly in your hand, and is ideal
for making quick and discreet
injections.

®

is large and clear, making it

built-in memory function, displaying
your previous dose of insulin and

or down.

®

. Innovo®is
specially designed for the easy
changing of Penfill

30 days. The battery cannot be
changed. This is to guarantee
quality and safety at all times.

insulin therapy as easy to live with

Getting started

Pull off the cap. Put the cap to one side and
keep it. You will need to replace the cap
after your injection.

The very first time the cap is pulled off, the
display stays blank until the slide is opened.

Make sure that the push button is pressed
completely in. Otherwise the slide will be
locked.

Open the slide in the direction of the arrow
shown below.

The display now shows 0.

In the Penfill®leaflet you will find
instructions on how to:

• check that Penfill

®

is intact (e.g. no fissures).

• resuspend the insulin, if Penfill

®

contains an

insulin suspension

(cloudy

insulin).

Put Penfill

®

into Innovo®by pushing it
slightly backwards as shown. The end with
the rubber stopper goes in first.

GETTING STARTED

Make sure that the colour-coded cap fits
firmly into place.
