Which insulin is suitable for which insulin dispenser pen or pen injector how to find out

Date of: December 12, 2022
Author: Oleg Medvedev

There are more and more names of insulins. In Test-Strip stores, visitors are increasingly asking the question of which insulin is suitable for a particular reusable syringe pen? I like to simplify life, so I decided to bring clarity to all this!

In the materials of the article, some names of models of injection pens that have already been discontinued are used. I do this on purpose, because a person’s insulin changes, but the devices themselves remain. But this applies only to mechanical syringe pens or, as they are also called, dispensers and pen injectors.

Penfill or disposable pen

In Russia, it is not important for the state in what form of release to buy insulin for diabetics. The doctor does not care what to prescribe to the patient. Therefore, it is up to the diabetic who receives this insulin on preferential terms, go for free. If you want to use penfill (from the words pen – pen and fill – fill, it turned out to be penfill) for reusable syringe pens – ask the doctor to prescribe them. We need disposable syringe pens filled with insulin – no problem, the doctor will prescribe them. Are you using an insulin pump? Then it doesn’t matter to you in what form you receive this insulin.

Penfill

Penfill with insulin is a small ampoule the size of an AA battery, with a volume of 3 ml. They are suitable for reusable syringe pens or conventional insulin syringes. In addition to insulin, almost every manufacturer produces its own reusable syringe pens and therefore tries to make sure that its penfill ampoule is suitable only for native reusable syringe pens. Insulin is insulin, but business is business. Therefore, penfills differ from each other, despite the fact that each of them has a standard volume and shape.

NovoNordisk, a manufacturer of such well-known insulins as NovoRapid, Actrapid NM, NovoMix 30, Protafan, Mixtard 30 NM and Levemir, produces penfills with a special plastic cap containing thread for winding a disposable needle. After the penfill is over, I advise you to remove this plastic cap and keep it for yourself, and not throw it away.

Very many times employees of Test-Poloska stores have encountered and continue to encounter situations when a diabetic first buys a syringe pen and only then goes to an endocrinologist to prescribe insulin. As a result, it turns out that the prescribed insulin is not suitable for this pen.

Attention! On all NovoNordisk reusable pens, the thread for winding the needle is located on the PENFILL itself. This is an important difference from other manufacturers that thread the top of the pen itself! And yet, the syringe pen should be chosen ONLY for insulin, and not vice versa.

Flexpen Disposable Pen

Of course, “flexpen” is a household name, because one of the first disposable syringe pens with NovoRapid insulin, manufactured by NovoNordisk, began to be called flexpen. At Eli Lilly, Humalog insulin is available in a disposable QuickPen pen. Sanofi-Aventis produces Apidra insulin in a SoloStar disposable syringe pen. I call all this “flexpen”. Well, it’s easier for me.

In essence, inside disposable flexpen are the most common penfills. Yes, yes, only in NovoNordisk flexpen are these ordinary penfills installed without plastic caps. Now focus. If suddenly the endocrinologist by mistake or due to the lack of penfills, for example, NovoRapida issued a flexpen with NovoRapid, then breaking it in half, you can pull the penfill out of the plastic shell and put on it the cap that I asked for (a little higher in the text ) do not throw away. Voila. Such a penfill can be safely inserted into the Novopen 3, Novopen 4 or Novopen Echo reusable syringe pen.

In the same way, carefully and carefully breaking the QuickPen into two parts, you will receive an ampoule with Humalog, which can be inserted into the Humapen Ergo, Humapen Ergo II, Humapen Luxura without any cap. or “Humapen Savvio”. All Eli Lilly pens that are currently on sale and in stock are listed on the website of the Test-Poloska chain of stores at the link: www.test-poloska.ru/developers/elililly/

Needles for disposable and refillable syringe pens

Disposable needles for syringe pens are always universal. Any needle can be easily and simply screwed onto any syringe pen. It just needs to be remembered. Universal size – 8 mm. Some people prefer 5 or 6 mm needles, but I myself have always used 8 mm. Although at an early stage of the disease, for some reason, the endocrinologist told me to prescribe 12.7. The thickness of the skin (and insulin should only penetrate under the skin) is the same for all people! Needles are huge. I advise you to choose the most inexpensive ones, since you will not notice any difference.

Mechanical or electronic

This beautiful table shows that all pens are divided into mechanical and electronic. To set the required dose of insulin on a mechanical syringe pen, you need to turn a special wheel located at the end of the pen. And on the analog screen, numbers will appear opposite the special mark. The electronic syringe pen runs on built-in and non-replaceable batteries. More precisely, a digital display works from them, on which the dialed dose is displayed. A set of insulin doses also occurs – from the rotation of a mechanical rotary mechanism.

Manufacturers came up with the idea that as soon as the built-in battery runs out, the user will run to buy a new syringe pen. That is, someone will be able to earn all the time. Technically, even with a dead battery, you can dial a dose of insulin on an electronic syringe pen, but for this you will need to listen for clicks when typing. Personally, I am a supporter of classic mechanical syringe pens.

Hocus Pocus Ear Trick

One day, it happened… pens disappeared. There were none. And there was nothing to inject insulin with except syringes. On sale, if memory serves, only the expensive syringe pen “Humapen Luxura” remained. And it was necessary to inject “Lantus” or “Apidra” – history will definitely not remember this. Nobody wanted to inject with syringes. And we came up with this…

A characteristic feature of the Humapen Luxura syringe pen is that the two halves of the pen are screwed together along a very strong and reliable thread. Penfill of the Apidra did not want to enter. Then we inserted the penfill into one part of the Humapen Luxura syringe pen, wound the needle and opened it, and then started screwing the two parts of the pen together. Excess insulin came out of the penfill, the piston moved and voila. So insulin “Apidra” found its life in a new pen, completely not intended for him. And there are many such tricks. Try.

In this article about pen syringes, the author describes a method that allows using the Humapen Luxura or Humapen Savvio syringe pen with Lantus or Apidra insulins. Yes, technically it looks nice, but the author misses such a detail as the inner diameter of the cartridge itself. The inner diameter of the Humalog insulin cartridge (of the entire HUMA group) is 9.57 mm, and the inner diameter of the Lantus cartridge is already 9.47 mm. Thus, the area of ​​the Lantus plunger reaches 70.4 mm 2 and the Humalog plunger is 71.9 mm 2 . The slightly thicker Humalog penfill contains slightly more insulin for each mm of penfill length. That is, 1.02 or 2% more. With Humalog in the Sanofi pen (for Lantus), the actual dose will be 98% of what the user is typing, and if Lantus is inserted into Humapen Luxura or Humapen Savvio, then you will already receive 102% of what the user is typing doses.

1 “Lantus Opticlic Cartridge” is a penfill soldered into one replaceable part (half) of the handle. That is, half of the pen with electronic filling is a permanent part that is stored by the user. The second part with insulin is replaceable. Sold or issued by a doctor. There are five replacement parts in the package. Such cartridges are produced only with Lantus insulin.

2 “Biomatic Pen” is actually a completely copied domestic analogue of the syringe pen “Optipen Pro 1”. Releases the Pharmstandard device.
