The InPen is a home-use reusable pen injector for single-patient use by people with diabetes age 12 and older for the self-injection of a desired dose of insulin. The pen injector is compatible with Novo Nordisk Novolog® U-100 3.0 mL cartridges of insulin and single-use detachable and disposable pen needles (not included). The pen injector allows the user to dial the desired dose from 0.5 to 30 units in one-half (1/2) unit increments. The InPen dose calculator, a component of the InPen app, is indicated for the management of diabetes by people with diabetes age 12 and older by calculating an insulin dose or carbohydrate intake based on user entered data. Prior to use, a healthcare professional must provide the patient-specific target blood glucose, insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio, and insulin sensitivity parameters to be programmed into the software.
A portable, hand-held, mechanical device, typically in the form of a large pen, designed to accept a pharmaceutical-containing cartridge (not included) and intended to be used by a patient to subcutaneously inject a dose of the pharmaceutical agent via a replaceable needle. The cartridge is inserted into the device and typically a dial on the device is operated for dosing (e.g., via a spring-loaded mechanism); the cartridge is replaced once the pharmaceutical is exhausted. This is a reusable device.
