Incompatibilities: Wosulin must not be mixed with insulins produced by other manufacturers or with animal insulin preparation.
Special Precautions for Disposal and Other Handling: Do not reuse needles. Dispose of the needle in a responsible manner. Needles must not be shared. Cartridge can be used until empty, then properly discard. Any unused medicinal product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.
Instruction for Use and Handling: To prevent the possible transmission of disease, each cartridge must be used by one patient only, even if the needle on the delivery device is changed.
The cartridge is to be used with the reusable pen DELFU Pen Injector. The reusable pen will be supplied separately.
a) Preparing a dose: Cartridges containing Wosulin R should look clear. Do not use if it looks cloudy, thick, slightly coloured, or particles seen in the solution. Cartridges containing Wosulin N and Wosulin 30/70 should be rolled in the palms of the hand ten times and inverted 180° ten times immediately before use to resuspend the insulin until it appears uniformly cloudy or milky. If not, repeat the previously mentioned procedure until contents are mixed. Cartridges containing Wosulin N and Wosulin 30/70 contain a small glass bead to assist mixing. Do not shake vigorously as this may cause frothing, which may interfere with the correct measurement of the dose.
The cartridge should be examined frequently and should not be used if clumps of material are present or if solid white particles stick to the bottom or wall of the cartridge, giving a frosted appearance.
The cartridges are not designed to allow any other insulin to be mixed in the cartridge. Cartridges are not designed to be refilled.
b) Injecting a dose: Inject the correct dose of insulin, as directed by the doctor or diabetes specialist nurse. Use of the injection sites should be rotated so that the same is not used more than approximately once a month.
