Storage & Use Directions

Complete guidance for safe handling, priming, storage, and disposal of Auto Pen systems.

Parts of the Pen & Key Terms

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.

General Use Guidelines

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.

First Time Use — Priming Your Pen

A simple, step-by-step walkthrough for first-time users and providers. Follow each step in order to prepare your pen safely and correctly.

1

Gather Your Pen & Components

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.

2

Check If Your Pen Is Primed

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:

1

Screw on your disposable pen tip

Attach a fresh, unused tip to the end of the pen until it is snug.

2

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.

3

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.

4

View the pen

If the air bubble is removed and you clearly see solution that came out of the syringe tip, you are primed.

5

Repeat if needed

If there is still an air bubble, repeat the steps again until the bubble is fully released.

6

Store after priming

Once primed, remove your disposable tip, put your pen cover back on, and place the pen in the refrigerator.

Best Storage Practices

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.

Storage Guidelines

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.

Cartridge Handling

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

Important Safety Notes

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
