I am new, Where do I start?
You are not alone, there are lots of people just starting out on their own personal journey and interested in using personal injection devices.
There are many resources available online videos, podcast, and blogs that explain reconstituting compounds, loading pens and even suggestions on dosing protocols.
These pens are used for many different purposes and there is an assumption that researchers have a basic institutional knowledge of intended use and how to disassemble, load cartridges, reassemble and operate these units.
With that said, we are happy to assist and answer detail questions if you will please send a request to Info@pen-depot.com
We are committed to helping the best that we can

Important Information
Disassembling your PID.
It is necessary to pull the pen apart to remove the Pen Cap which will expose the cartridge holder. If you unscrew the pen first the cartridge holder will remain inside the pen cap. If this happens in error simply screw the pen back together and then pull the pen apart and unscrew the cartridge holder independently.
Assembling your PID
In V2 models, at first your pen body threads may be a little stiff and require extra pressure to get it started when reattaching the cartridge holder.
Care for your plunger
Take care to push the plunger back in easily upon reloading or initial use. It is a corkscrew mechanism and needs to turn under your finger as you are pressing it back into the pen body.
What is the difference between V1 and V2 model.
V1 models have a solid pen which allows you to completely close off the pen creating a sealed environment for storage. They come in different styles which include 60 unit standard size and 80 Unit slimline models.
V2 model have the “injecthru” feature with a hole and retractable ring on the pen cap end. This allows for sight free needle administration. For those with needle apprehension, this unique feature will hide the needle during administration. They only come in 60 unit standard versions.
What kind of pen tips work on Pen-Depot Pens (PIDs) “Personal Injection Devices”
All of our PIDs use standard insulin pen tips. They can be found online at Amazon and other online diabetes stores. Some major brands include BD, NovoFine, EasyTouch, MediFine. They come in different gauges and needle lengths depending on preference.
Pro Tips
If using the “injecthru” V2 model please consider 5mm or longer pen tips.
If bruising occurs at the administration site try using longer 8mm needles.
