The InsuJet™ is suitable for anyone who requires insulin therapy. Please note that, like all changes to your care, it is advisable to speak with your Diabetes Care Specialist if you’re considering switching to the InsuJet™ system.

The InsuJet™ can be used with all types of U100 insulin. This includes:

• Human and animal
• Fast acting insulins (bolus)
• Rapid Acting Insulin Analogs
• Regular Human Insulin
• Basal insulins
• Intermediate-acting, commonly: NPH/ Isophane
• Long-acting, commonly: Glargine, detemir, degludec
• Premixtures (e.g. 30/70)

If you’re not sure, please consult your Diabetes Care Specialist and/or reach out to us for more information.

Insulin that is supplied in the following ways can be loaded into the InsuJet™, using the appropriate InsuJet™ Adaptors:

• 3ml cartridge
• Disposable insulin pen fill
• 10 ml Vial

Yes. It is advised to involve your Diabetes Care Specialist in any discussion and decision relating to switching to the InsuJet.

Yes. You can switch to the InsuJet™ but, like any changes in the management of your diabetes, the changeover period needs to be carefully monitored and the Diabetes Care Specialist who is involved in your care, should be consulted.

Generally speaking, you will continue to use the insulin prescribed to you, so there should be no change in the types of insulin used.

The InsuJet™ should only be used on the recommendation of a Diabetes Care Specialist. These specialists are best suited to assess whether the InsuJet™ is a suitable system for any individual patient.

The InsuJet™ should only be used on the recommendation of a Diabetes Care Specialist. These specialists can assess the suitability of the InsuJet™ for a particular individual and their environment. If you are severely visually impaired or legally blind, it is not recommended to use the InsuJet™ by yourself. A competent caregiver can assist using the InsuJet™.

The InsuJet™ may be used, but with caution, by anyone who bruises or bleeds easily. In the event of excessive bruising the usage of the InsuJet™ should be discontinued. The InsuJet™ will normally not cause blistering, but anyone who has a skin condition associated with the administration sites to be used, should consult his Diabetes Care Specialist before switching to the InsuJet™.

Although often pain free, as with small needles, occasionally you may feel a small pinch. For optimal comfort, make sure that the injected insulin is room temperature, and use an InsuJet™ Comfort Ring.

The Orifice of the InsuJet™ is 0.15mm in diameter, which is much smaller than conventional needle gauges used for subcutaneous insulin administration which are 0.23 mm (32G) and 0.25 mm (31G) for ultra fine needles.

Yes. The InsuJet™ has been clinically tested on people with a higher BMI. The jet administration has proven to be a highly effective measure to administer insulin. A clinical study from 2015 found that insulin administered by needle-free jet injection corrects marked hyperglycaemia faster in overweight or obese patients with diabetes. We recommend to always consult a Diabetes Care Specialist to check if InsuJet™ is suitable for your case before purchase.

The back of the InsuJet™ is rotated to compress a spring that is used to power the InsuJet™. The release of the spring forces insulin through a small orifice of a special Nozzle, creating a thin, high pressure stream of insulin that penetrates the skin. In this manner, the insulin is deposited into the subcutaneous tissue.

The very small amount of insulin remaining in the device may affect the composition of the next insulin draw-up if a different insulin is used. Therefore we recommend using a separate InsuJet™ device for each type of insulin used. Labels with different colours are included in the package. You can use these labels to easily identify the separate devices, as well as their Carry Cases.

The InsuJet™ adaptors have no limitation in the number of uses, however, they should be disposed together with the insulin reservoir when empty. The nozzle has a maximum number of 56 uses. If exceeding the indicated uses, the following may occur; • Insulin leakage behind the plunger resulting in small deviations in dosing • Wear and increased friction, resulting in failed (wet) injections

Many insulins can be stored up to 28 days outside of the fridge. Typically, it is not recommended to refrigerate in use insulin, as the temperature fluctuations can impact the insulin. Current data and guidelines indicate that used insulin can be kept at room temperature, best at temperatures below 25°C.
