Ensure the cartridge and insulin are at room temperature.
Always check the cartridge, including the
rubber plunger at the bottom of the
cartridge. Do not use it if any damage or
leakage is seen or if the rubber plunger
has been drawn above the white label
band at the bottom of the cartridge. This
could be a result of leakage of insulin. If you
suspect the cartridge is damaged, take it
back to your supplier.
Do not use the insulin cartridge if the
cartridge or the insulin pump containing the
cartridge is dropped, damaged or crushed.
