F 0760 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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.
