Step 1 - Examine the syringe

Remove one blister-packaged prefilled syringe from the refrigerated carton and let it stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. Closely inspect it for any particles or discoloration. The solution should appear clear or slightly yellow. Discard the syringe if any particulate matter or discoloration is observed.

Step 2 - Select the area for injection (arms, hips, thighs, and abdomen)

Areas for subcutaneous injection include arms, hips, thighs, and abdomen. Talk to your physician to know which site would be ideal for you.

Step 3 - Adjust the screw depth

Insert the cap remover into the depth adjuster. Screw the depth adjuster using the cap remover and set it to the depth prescribed by your physician.

Step 4 - Prepare the injector body

Unscrew the syringe housing from the injector body and push the cap remover against the yellow/beige part of the injector body until you hear a click.

Step 5 - Insert the syringe into the syringe housing

Insert the syringe into the syringe housing and push it down firmly until the syringe clicks into place. Screw the syringe housing and the injector body back together. Remove the needle cap by firmly pulling the cap remover.

Step 6 - Clean the injection site

Clean the injection site with an alcohol wipe and let it dry. Do not blow with your mouth.
