Handling Guide
Complete guidance for safe handling, priming, storage, and disposal of Auto Pen systems.
Each Auto Pen system includes:
Auto Injector Pen (reusable device)
Pre-filled Cartridge(s)
Disposable Pen Tips (screw-on syringes)
The Auto Pen is designed for precision dosing using a dial-based system.
Important Terms
Clicks
"Clicks" are the unit of measurement used when turning the pen dial. Each click represents a small, consistent amount of medication.
Pen Capacity
Standard pens contain 300 clicks (3 mL total volume)
Some medications use 200 clicks (2 mL)
Some medications use 100 clicks (1 mL)
Refer to your specific product for exact volume.
Always attach a new disposable pen tip before each use
After use, remove the pen tip immediately
Dispose of used pen tips according to local sharps disposal guidelines
Replace the pen cap after each use
Store the pen properly after use
Never reuse a disposable pen tip.
A simple, step-by-step walkthrough for first-time users and providers. Follow each step in order to prepare your pen safely and correctly.
Before you begin, confirm you have all three components below. These come packaged together with your provider peptide pen.
Peptide Pen
The main delivery device — a white pen body with a dial at the base and a viewing window showing the internal plunger.
Pen Cover
The plain white cylindrical cap that protects the pen tip between uses and during refrigerated storage.
Disposable Pen Tip
A pale, translucent conical tip that screws onto the pen for each injection. Discard after every use — never reuse a tip.
During manufacturing, small air bubbles can become trapped within the pen. Before your first injection, we need to prime the pen to release any trapped air and ensure accurate dosing.
Follow these directions in order:
Screw on your disposable pen tip
Attach a fresh, unused tip to the end of the pen until it is snug.
Spin your dial 5 clicks
Turn the dial at the base of the pen until you hear and feel five distinct clicks. The dial advances one dose per click — spin to 5.
Hold the pen vertically and press the button
Hold the pen upright with the tip pointing up, then compress the bottom push button to extend the plunger and push the air bubble out.
View the pen
If the air bubble is removed and you clearly see solution that came out of the syringe tip, you are primed.
Repeat if needed
If there is still an air bubble, repeat the steps again until the bubble is fully released.
Store after priming
Once primed, remove your disposable tip, put your pen cover back on, and place the pen in the refrigerator.
Best-use storage is in a refrigerated area. Pen exposure for a limited time — less than 24 hours — to neutral temperatures (below 80°F and above 32°F) will not harm the peptides.
If the pen is exposed to extreme temperatures — below freezing or above 80°F for an extended time — speak with your provider before using it.
Priming is only required once before initial use.
All peptide pens and cartridges must be stored in a refrigerated environment.
Keep refrigerated at all times
Avoid heat exposure
Do not freeze
Refrigeration is critical to maintain product integrity, preserve potency, and extend product usability.
Only puncture or engage the cartridge that you are actively using.
Do Not:
Pre-puncture multiple cartridges
Expose unused cartridges unnecessarily
Unused cartridges should remain sealed and refrigerated until needed. This helps:
Maintain sterility
Preserve product stability
Ensure proper dosing performance
Use only compatible pen tips provided or recommended
Do not share pens or pen tips
Follow all provider instructions for dosing and frequency
Always store after use in a clean, controlled environment
