00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:02.320
Welcome to this guide,

00:00:02.320 --> 00:00:05.880
which sets out the correct use of
the Hukyndra pre-filled pen.

00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:11.520
The pen is made up of four parts:
grey body grip area, inspection window,

00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:15.360
orange needle sleeve
(with the needle inside) and clear cap.

00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:17.680
Let’s see how it works.

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:21.360
Hukyndra should be stored in
its original packaging in a refrigerator

00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:24.520
at a temperature of 2 to 8°C.

00:00:24.520 --> 00:00:27.400
If needed
(whilst travelling, for example),

00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:33.960
you may also store Hukyndra
at room temperature - up to 25°C - for up to 14 days.

00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.920
First, take Hukyndra
out of the refrigerator.

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:40.080
Remove the pen
from the packaging;

00:00:40.080 --> 00:00:45.280
make sure that the product is in date by
checking the expiry date on the label.

00:00:46.040 --> 00:00:50.240
Leave the pen at room temperature
for 15 to 30 minutes before injecting.

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:52.200
Importantly:

00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:53.920
Do not remove the clear cap;

00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:55.400
do not warm Hukyndra,

00:00:55.400 --> 00:00:57.200
and do not use the pre-filled pen

00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.240
if the liquid inside has been frozen or thawed.

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:03.360
Place everything on a clean surface:

00:01:03.360 --> 00:01:07.120
the pen, an alcohol swab,
a cotton ball or gauze pad

00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.440
and a puncture-resistant
sharps disposal container.

00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:13.800
Wash and dry your hands carefully.

00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:16.560
Begin by choosing an injection site.

00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:21.760
The injection site should be at least 3cms away
from your previous injection site

00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.400
and can be on the front of your thigh
or on your abdomen,

00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:26.960
at least 5cms from your navel.

00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.560
Wipe clean the injection site
with the alcohol swab

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:32.560
using a circular motion.

00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:34.560
Importantly,

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:36.280
do not inject through clothes,

00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.560
and do not inject into skin that is sore,

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.840
bruised, red, hard, scarred,

00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.720
has stretchmarks, or areas with psoriasis.

00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.880
Hold the Hukyndra pen with
the grey body grip area facing upwards.

00:01:48.880 --> 00:01:53.320
Check the inspection window to make sure
that the liquid is clear and colourless.

00:01:53.320 --> 00:01:56.520
It’s normal to see bubbles in
the inspection window.

00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:58.360
Importantly,

00:01:58.360 --> 00:01:59.520
do not use the pen

00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:02.360
if the liquid appears cloudy or contains particles,

00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:04.720
or if the pen has been dropped or crushed.

00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:08.000
Pull the clear cap straight off
and discard it.

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.720
Turn the Hukyndra pen so that
the orange needle sleeve

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:13.120
is pointing towards
the injection site.

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.680
Do not put the clear cap back on the pen!

00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:17.920
It is normal to see a few drops of liquid

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:19.760
come out of the needle.

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.360
Gently pinch the area of cleaned skin
at the injection site to make a raised area,

00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:25.960
and hold it firmly.

00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:31.280
Now place the orange needle sleeve directly
onto the injection site at a 90° angle,

00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.000
keeping the inspection window visible.

00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.600
Hold the pen in place
against the injection site.

00:02:37.600 --> 00:02:40.720
An initial click will
signal the start of the injection,

00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:43.680
which may take up to
10 seconds to complete.

00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:44.960
Keep the pen in position

00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.360
until the orange indicator has stopped moving

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:49.520
and you may hear a second click.

00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:52.520
Take care to maintain pressure on the injection site

00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.240
until you have confirmed the
injection is complete.

00:02:55.240 --> 00:03:00.000
Once the injection is complete,
remove the Hukyndra pen from the skin slowly.

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.800
The orange needle sleeve
will cover the needle tip.

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:07.320
Place a cotton ball or gauze pad
on the skin at the injection site without rubbing.

00:03:07.320 --> 00:03:10.280
Slight bleeding at the injection site is normal.

00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:11.960
Contact your healthcare provider

00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:13.720
if there are more than a few drops of liquid

00:03:13.720 --> 00:03:15.480
at the injection site.

00:03:16.320 --> 00:03:18.440
Put the used needles,
pen, and sharps

00:03:18.440 --> 00:03:22.000
into a sharps disposal container
straight away after use.

00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:24.320
The clear cap, alcohol swab,

00:03:24.320 --> 00:03:26.720
cotton ball or gauze pad and packaging

00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:28.640
may be placed in your household rubbish.
