HumaPen LUXURA HD is designed to enable you to reliably deliver an accurate dose
of your insulin in an easy to use manner. You can give yourself multiple doses from
one Lilly 3 mL insulin cartridge (100 units/mL). You can inject from 0.5 to 30 units of
insulin from a Lilly 3 mL insulin cartridge in each injection. You can dial your dose one
half (1/2) unit at a time. If you dial the wrong dose,you can correct the dose without
wasting any insulin.
Read these instructions completely and follow the directions carefully before
using the pen. Failure to follow the instructions may result in the wrong insulin
dose being delivered.
DO NOT SHARE YOUR PEN OR NEEDLES AS THIS MAY RISK TRANSMISSION
OF INFECTIOUS AGENTS.
If any of the parts of your Pen appear broken or damaged, DO NOT USE. Contact
your healthcare professional or call Lilly at 1-888-545-5972 for a replacement
pen.
HumaPen LUXURA HD is not recommended for the blind or visually impaired

could immediately use in case your pen is lost or damaged.

Frequently Asked Questions about Inserting the Insulin Cartridge
1. Why doesn’t the screw move out when there is no cartridge in the pen?
The screw may not move out when you push the injection button unless there is a
cartridge in the pen. This feature of the pen allows you to easily push the screw into
the pen body when replacing a cartridge. Once a cartridge is inserted, the screw will
move out when the injection button is pushed.
2. What should I do if I can’t attach the cartridge holder to the pen body?
Check that the insulin cartridge is fully inserted into the cartridge holder. Then carefully
line up the cartridge holder with the pen body and screw together until secure.
2PRIME THE PEN (BEFORE EVERY INJECTION)
Important Notes
HumaPen LUXURA HD is recommended for use with BD Pen Needles.
The directions regarding needle handling are not intended to replace local,
healthcare professional or institutional policies.
Do not store your pen with the needle attached. Use a new needle for each
injection. This will help ensure sterility. It will also help prevent leakage of insulin,
keep out air bubbles, and reduce needle clogs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Priming
1. Why is it important to prime before every injection?
If you do NOT prime, you may get the wrong insulin dose. Priming helps to ensure
that the pen and needle are working properly. Once the pen is properly primed, insulin
will flow from the needle. You may need to prime several times before you see insulin
at the tip of the needle.
2. Why can it take several attempts to prime when a new cartridge is inserted?
There may be a gap between the screw and the cartridge plunger. Repeating the
priming steps will move the screw out to touch the cartridge plunger. Once the end of
the screw pushes the cartridge plunger out, insulin will flow from the needle.
Before Priming After Priming
*Cartridge
Plunger Gap Screw No Gap Between Screw and Cartridge Plunger
.*The colour of your Cartridge Plunger may differ.
-Repeat the priming steps until insulin is seen at the tip of the needle.
-If you are still unable to see insulin flow from the needle, go to Question 3.
3. Why should I prime until I see insulin at the tip of the needle?
Priming moves the screw into contact with the cartridge plunger and gets the air out of
the cartridge.
-You may see insulin on the tip of the needle when you first attach it. This only
shows that the needle is attached and not clogged. You must still prime the pen.
-You may also see no insulin at all when you are priming the pen. This may be
because the screw is moving forward to close a gap between the screw and the
cartridge plunger.
-Insulin will flow only when the pen is properly primed.
-If the injection button is hard to push, the needle may be clogged. Attach a new
needle. Repeat the priming steps until insulin is seen at the tip of the needle.
If you are still unable to see insulin flow from the needle, do NOT use the pen.
Contact your healthcare professional or Lilly at 1-888-545-5972 for assistance or to
obtain a replacement.
4. What should I do if I have an air bubble in the cartridge?
Priming your pen will remove air bubbles. Point the pen up, and tap the cartridge
gently with your finger so any air bubbles can collect near the top. Repeat the priming

4
steps until insulin is seen at the tip of the needle. A small air bubble may remain in the
cartridge after completion of the priming steps. If you have properly primed the pen,
this small air bubble will not affect your insulin dose.
3INJECT THE DOSE
Important Notes
You must PUSH the injection button straight down for the dose to be delivered.
You will NOT receive your insulin by turning the dose knob.
Do not attempt to change the dose while injecting.
Frequently Asked Questions about Injecting
1. Why is it difficult to push the injection button when I try to inject?
-Your needle may be clogged.Try attaching a new needle, and then prime the
pen.
-Pushing the injection button down quickly may make the button harder to push.
Pushing the button more slowly may make it easier.
- Using a larger diameter needle will make it easier to push the injection button
during injection. See your healthcare professional to determine which needle is
best for you.
-Your injection button may become harder to push if the inside of your pen gets
dirty with insulin, food, drink or other materials. Following the CARE AND
STORAGE instructions below should prevent this.
If none of the above steps resolves the problem, your pen may need to be replaced.
2. Why doesn’t the dose knob go to zero when I inject my dose?
This can happen if the insulin cartridge does not have enough insulin left in it for your
entire dose. The number in the dose window is the amount you did NOT receive. To
get the rest of your dose, remove the needle, change the insulin cartridge, attach a
new needle and prime the pen. Then complete your dose by dialing the amount that
you did NOT receive and inject only this amount.
3. Why is insulin leaking from the needle after I finish my dose?
You may have removed the needle from your skin too quickly; remember to push and
hold the injection button and slowly count to 5 before removing the needle. Make
sure you see a 0 in the dose window to confirm you received the complete dose.
CARE AND STORAGE
Remove the needle after every use. Do not store the pen with the needle attached.
Keep your HumaPen LUXURA HD, Lilly 3 mL insulin cartridges, and needles out of
