COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1.Do I need to per orm the New Cartridge Setup be ore every dose?
•No. The New Cartridge etup is performed only once for each Cartridge, just before a new Cartridge is
used for the first time.
•The purpose of the setup is to make sure the HumatroPen 24 mg and 24 mg Cartridge are ready to use.
•If you repeat the New Cartridge etup before each routine dose, you may run out of Humatrope early. The
small amount of product used in the New Cartridge etup will not affect the supply of Humatrope.
2.What should I do i the Cartridge Label and Pen do not match?
•DO NOT USE the Pen if the Cartridge strength on the Humatrope Cartridge label does not match the
number on the Pen’s Front Housing. This is important to ensure the correct dose of Humatrope is given.
•Contact your healthcare professional for assistance or to obtain a replacement.
3. What should I do i the Humatrope is not clear a ter mixing?
•Be sure to gently invert the Pen up and down 10 times. DO NOT SHAKE. Then, let the Pen sit for at least three
minutes. If the solution remains cloudy or has particles, gently invert the Pen up and down 10 more times. Let
the Pen sit for five more minutes.
•If the solution remains cloudy or contains particles after reconstitution (mixing), DO NOT USE. Contact
your healthcare professional for assistance.
4.Why are there air bubbles in the Cartridge?
•Air bubbles may remain in the Cartridge after reconstitution (mixing).
•If the Pen is stored with a Needle attached, air bubbles may form in the Cartridge. DO NOT STORE the Pen
with a Needle attached.
•Perform the New Cartridge etup to remove air bubbles from the Cartridge.
•A small air bubble is normal. It will not cause any harm nor affect the dose.
5. Why doesn’t the Screw move out when there is no Cartridge attached to the Pen?
•The crew may not move out when you push the Injection Button unless there is a Cartridge in the Pen.
This feature allows you to easily push the crew into the Pen Body when replacing a Cartridge.
•Once a Cartridge is attached, the crew will move out when the Injection Button is pushed.
6. What should I do i I can’t attach the Cartridge to the Pen Body?
•Check that the Cartridge is not damaged or broken.
•Carefully line up the Cartridge with the Pen Body and screw together until secure. If the Cartridge
and Pen cannot be screwed together contact your healthcare professional.

.Why is it di icult to push the Injection Button when I try to inject the dose?
•The Needle may be clogged. Try attaching a new Needle.
•Pushing the Injection Button down quickly may make the Injection Button harder to push. Pushing
the Injection Button more slowly may make it easier.
•Using a larger diameter Needle will make it easier to push the Injection Button during injection. Ask
your healthcare professional which Needle is best for you.
•The Injection Button may become harder to push if the inside of the Pen gets dirty with Humatrope,
food, drink, or other materials.
8. Why doesn’t the Dose Knob go to zero when I inject the dose?
•This can happen if the Humatrope Cartridge does not have enough Humatrope left in it for the full dose.
It is possible to set a dose larger than the amount of Humatrope left in the Cartridge. At the end of the
injection, the number in the Dose Window should be 0.00. If it is not, this is the amount of Humatrope
that WA NOT delivered. Consult with your healthcare professional on how to handle a partial dose.
Remove the Needle and empty Cartridge. For the next daily use attach a new Cartridge as shown in
ection 2, tep A, and continue with New Cartridge etup ( ection 2).
9. Why do I see Humatrope leaking rom the Needle a ter I have inished the injection?
•It is normal for a single drop to remain on the tip of the Needle after the injection is complete. If you see more
than one drop:
-The full dose may not have been delivered. DO NOT INJECT another dose. Consult with your healthcare
professional for assistance.
-To prevent this, for the next dose, firmly push and hold the Injection Button in and slowly count to five
(see ection 3, tep 3).
10. How can I tell when the injection is complete?
•The injection is complete when:
-You have slowly counted to five while you are still holding the Injection Button in and before you
remove the Needle from the skin.
AND
-0.00 is in the center of the Dose Window.
