Hints and Tips• The <strong>HumaPen</strong> MEMOIR is only for use with 3ml insulincartridges made by Lilly.• The HumPen MEMOIR is suitable for use with BD Micro-Finepen needles.• Use a new needle for each injection to ensure sterility andreduce needle blockages.• Do not store your Pen with a needle attached as this will allowinsulin to leak from, and air to enter, the cartridge.• Do not store your Pen in a refrigerator as this will weaken thebattery and may cause the Pen to reset.• If your Pen becomes dirty, you may clean it with a dampcloth (do not apply any cleaning agents or lubricants). Neverimmerse the Pen in any liquid, including water.• Avoid leaving the Pen with a dose ‘dialled up’. If the Pen isleft like this for 15 minutes or more, the Pen will go into ‘Reset’mode to conserve the battery.
