Safety Instructions
Remember these important safety instructions as you use
the Gocap system.
WARNING: Never use the Gocap system to make insulin
dosing decisions. The Gocap App may not always be
updated with your most recent dose information, or its
display screen reading may not correspond with the number
of insulin units your insulin pen injected into your body.
If you are unsure of a dosing decision, contact a medical
professional for assistance.
• Always check the type of insulin you are dosing.
• Gocap is not a blood glucose monitor. Always follow your
doctor's instructions for making any dosing decisions.
• If you are unsure of a dosing decision, contact a medical
professional for assistance. Misdosing can lead to
hypoglycemia.
• The Gocap system does not provide real-time
communication with any persons you may invite to share
your information.
• The Gocap system is not intended for use as a dose monitor
for critical care.

98 Intended Use of the Gocap System
The Gocap system is intended for use to aid logging and
viewing injectable insulin dose amounts by people with
diabetes and by healthcare professionals.
The Gocap system’s additional features include pushing
medication reminders and other notifications, providing
safety alerts, and transmitting reading data to the
appropriate medical data servers for data review and
analysis.
The Gocap is not on the insulin pen during injection, and it
is not intended to aect the safety and ecacy of existing
dosing processes with an insulin pen.

Gocap Basics
The Gocap system works with insulin pens to create an
automatic and shareable logbook of your insulin doses. This
logbook can be conveniently stored on your smartphone
using the Gocap App.
The Gocap replaces the plastic cap that comes with
an insulin pen. Each time you use the Gocap, it stores
information about the dose. You can use your Gocap by
itself, or you can use it in combination with the Gocap App
installed on your smartphone.
If you use just the Gocap by itself, you can see a reading of
insulin remaining and doses taken on the Gocap’s display
screen. If you also use the Gocap App, the Gocap uploads
its stored information to the Gocap App. Then you can
use the app to view all of your stored information. You can
also use the app as a logbook for other information you
enter directly, like information about a meal or a glucose
reading. The Gocap App can also remind you when it’s time
to take a dose or let you share information directly with your
healthcare provider, family member, or friend.

1312 Setting Up the Gocap
The Gocap comes with a removable “Reminder” label. Read
the warning on the label. Then remove the label.
Remove the cap from a new insulin pen. Push the insulin
pen into the Gocap and turn until you hear a click. The
Gocap takes the place of the cap that came with the pen.
The Gocap is now ready to use.
CAUTION: Once you have placed the Gocap on an insulin
pen, always store and use the pen in accordance with the
insulin pen manufacturer’s instructions.
Setting Up and Using the Gocap
The Gocap replaces the plastic cap that comes with an
insulin pen. Follow the steps in this section to set up your
Gocap.
Before you Begin
Before you begin using the
Gocap system to record your
insulin doses:
• Read this User’s Guide
carefully.
• Decide whether you are
going to use the Gocap by
itself, or whether you want to
use the Gocap App on your
smartphone as well.
• Take all of the Gocap components out of the box and look
them over. See the Quick Start Guide included in the box for
an introduction to the components of your Gocap and an
overview of the setup process.

1514 Using the Gocap
When it’s time for you to dose, follow these steps.
Check that your insulin pen is in the Gocap.
To log a dose, you need to start with your pen inside the
Gocap.
Remove the Gocap, and take your dose.
Follow your doctor’s instructions for dosing.

4Put your insulin pen back
in the Gocap.
Push the insulin pen
into the Gocap and turn
it until you feel the pen
click. When the pen clicks,
Gocap can read your dose
properly. If you don’t hear
a click, Gocap can’t read
the dose.
A light flashes on the
Gocap to indicate it is
reading the pen, and
flashes quickly after the
dose was read. If you don’t
see a flashing light, push
and turn the pen again.
Leave the Gocap on your
pen until your next dose.

1716 After you compete a dose, the Gocap display screen will add
a check mark for each dose you take in a day. You can see
up to three check marks at once.
Note: If you set up a dosing schedule using the Gocap App,
your Gocap will start showing a blinking circle one hour
before the time selected in the dosing schedule.
Note: The insulin meter shows how many units are left in
your insulin pen, rounded to the nearest 10 units. If you dose
a small amount, the dose meter may not change. To see
your logged doses, check the logbook entry in the Gocap
App (if you are using the Gocap App).
Note: If you purge insulin from the pen before taking a dose,
the amount you purged will be included in the dose amount.
