Review of the Insulin Glargine insert dated 08/01/22 revealed to perform a safety test: Dial a test dose of
two units. Hold pen with the needle pointing up and lightly tap the insulin reservoir so the air bubbles rise to
the top of the needle. This will help you get the most accurate dose. Press the injection button all the way in
and check to see that insulin comes out of the needle. The dial will automatically go back to zero after you
perform
the test. If no insulin comes out, repeat the test two more times. If there is still no insulin coming out, use a
new
needle and do the safety test again. Always perform the safety test before each injection.
Review of Insulin Aspart insert dated 02/01/23 revealed giving the airshot before each injection: Before
each injection small amounts of air may collect in the cartridge during normal use. To avoid injecting air and
to ensure proper dosing: Turn the dose selector to select two units hold the pen with the needle pointing up.
Tap the cartridge gently with your finger a few times to make any air bubbles collect at the top of the
cartridge. Keep the needle pointing upwards, press the push-button all the way in, the dose selector returns
to zero. A drop of insulin should appear at the needle tip. If not, change the needle and repeat the
procedure no more than six times. If you do not see a drop of insulin after six times, do not use the pen.
Review of the facility insulin reference guide updated 02/01/24 revealed Insulin Glargine pen and Insulin
Aspart flexpen has a pen priming requirement of two units.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00161835.
