WEBVTT 00:00:03.800 --> 00:00:10.200 These instructions for use are applicable for the 45 mg and the 90 mg pre-filled syringe. 00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:15.600 There is no difference regarding the handling of the pre-filled syringe between the two strengths. 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:17.480 Welcome to this guide, 00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:21.960 which sets out the correct use of the UZPRUVO single-use pre-filled syringe. 00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.360 The syringe is made up of four parts: needle cover, 00:00:25.360 --> 00:00:28.040 needle, syringe body and plunger. 00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:31.280 Let's see how it works. 00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.600 UZPRUVO should be stored in a refrigerator 00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:36.320 at a temperature of 2 to 8°C. 00:00:36.760 --> 00:00:38.600 Do not freeze UZPRUVO. 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.080 Keep pre-filled syringes in the outer carton 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:43.440 in order to protect from light. 00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:47.480 If needed, individual pre-filled syringes may be stored at room temperature 00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:52.040 up to 30°C for a maximum single period of up to 30 days 00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:54.640 without exceeding the original expiry date. 00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:58.280 First, take UZPRUVO out of the refrigerator. 00:00:59.720 --> 00:01:02.560 Before administration, UZPRUVO should be allowed 00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:04.160 to reach room temperature 00:01:04.160 --> 00:01:05.960 (allow approximately half an hour). 00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:11.600 The UZPRUVO pre-filled syringe is for subcutaneous use only. 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.880 Do not mix UZPRUVO with other liquids for injection 00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:17.640 and do not shake UZPRUVO pre-filled syringes. 00:01:18.600 --> 00:01:20.400 Remove the outer carton. 00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:22.800 Check to make sure you have the correct dose. 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.160 Ensure the pre-filled syringe has not passed its expiry date 00:01:26.160 --> 00:01:28.600 by checking the expiry date on the label. 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.080 Make sure that the solution in the pre-filled syringe is clear 00:01:32.080 --> 00:01:36.320 and colourless to slightly yellow and practically free of visible particles. 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.280 Do not use if the product has expired, or if the solution appears 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:43.400 discoloured or cloudy, or contains large particles. 00:01:44.520 --> 00:01:47.040 Lay out everything you will need on a clean surface: 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:53.440 your prescribed dose of UZPRUVO, an antiseptic wipe, a cotton ball or gauze pad, 00:01:53.440 --> 00:01:55.000 an adhesive bandage 00:01:55.440 --> 00:01:58.080 and a puncture resistant sharps disposal container. 00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.000 Do not use if the pre-filled syringe is damaged, 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.840 or if the solution in the pre-filled syringe is frozen. 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:05.800 Wash your hands 00:02:05.800 --> 00:02:07.920 very well with soap and warm water. 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.520 Begin by choosing an injection site. 00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:14.400 Good places for the injection are around the belly, 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.960 at least five centimeters away from the navel, 00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:19.040 the upper thigh or buttocks. 00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:21.680 Use a different injection site for each injection. 00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:26.520 Clean the skin with the antiseptic wipe where you plan to give your injection. 00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:28.040 Let your skin dry 00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:31.360 before the injection without fanning or blowing on the clean area. 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.080 Do not inject through clothes and do not give an injection 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.440 in an area of the skin that is tender, bruised, red or hard. 00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:43.800 Hold the body of the pre-filled syringe in one hand without touching the plunger. 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.800 Pull the needle cover straight off and discard it. 00:02:47.480 --> 00:02:50.200 Do not touch the needle or let it touch anything. 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.640 It's normal to see a drop of liquid at the end of the needle. 00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:55.920 Hold the body 00:02:55.920 --> 00:02:59.640 of the pre-filled syringe with one hand between the thumb and index finger. 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.560 Do not pull back on the plunger at any time. 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.360 Do not use the pre-filled syringe if it is dropped without the needle cover 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:07.680 in place. 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.880 Use the other hand to gently pinch the cleaned area of the skin 00:03:10.880 --> 00:03:12.160 and hold firmly. 00:03:12.160 --> 00:03:15.160 Use a quick dart-like motion to insert the needle 00:03:15.160 --> 00:03:18.360 into the pinched skin at around a 45-degree angle. 00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:23.240 Inject all of the liquid by using your thumb to push the plunger all the way in, 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.400 until the pre-filled syringe is empty. 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:28.480 When the plunger is pushed as far as it will go, 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.840 keep pressure on the plunger head. 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:33.560 Take the needle out of the skin and let go of the skin. 00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:36.640 Slowly take your thumb off the plunger head. 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.120 The plunger will move up with your finger 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.280 and retract the needle into the needle guard. 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.200 After completing the injection, press a cotton ball or gauze pad 00:03:45.200 --> 00:03:47.920 on the skin at the injection site without rubbing. 00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.720 Slight bleeding at the injection site is normal. 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:55.120 You may cover the injection site with a small adhesive bandage, if necessary. 00:03:55.640 --> 00:03:57.800 If you need to give yourself two injections, 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.360 Choose two different sites for these injections 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.240 (for example, one injection on the right hand side of the belly 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.120 and the other injection on the left hand side of the belly), 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.520 and give the injections one right after the other. 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:10.520 On completion, 00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:14.040 put the used syringes in a puncture resistant container like a sharps 00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:18.120 container straight away after use, according to your local regulations. 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.480 Do not dispose of loose syringes in your household rubbish. 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:25.400 Dispose of the antiseptic wipe, cotton bowl or gauze pad and packaging 00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:27.080 in your household rubbish. 00:04:27.080 --> 00:04:30.720 Never re-use a syringe.
