00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:07.800
Welcome to this guide,

00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:09.680
which sets out the correct use

00:00:09.680 --> 00:00:13.640
of the Kefdensis single-use pre-filled syringe.

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:17.400
The syringe is made up of the following parts:

00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:22.320
grey needle cap, needle, syringe barrel,

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:27.000
transparent safety guard, finger grip and plunger.

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:29.200
After use

00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:31.000
the needle retracts,

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:33.360
the safety spring activates

00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:34.960
and the plunger locks.

00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:43.240
Kefdensis should be stored in a refrigerator at 2 to 8 °C.

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:45.480
Do not freeze.

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:49.040
Keep it in the outer carton to protect from light,

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:52.560
and keep it out of the sight and reach of children.

00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:57.240
First, take Kefdensis out of the refrigerator.

00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.040
For a more comfortable injection,

00:01:00.040 --> 00:01:05.720
leave the pre-filled syringe at room temperature (up to 25 °C)

00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:09.080
for about 30 minutes before injecting.

00:01:09.880 --> 00:01:16.800
Do not try to warm the syringe by using a heat source
such as hot water or a microwave,

00:01:16.800 --> 00:01:20.400
and do not expose it to direct sunlight.

00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:27.440
Remove the pre-filled syringe from the package
by taking hold of the pre-filled syringe safety guard.

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.520
Do not shake the pre-filled syringe.

00:01:30.800 --> 00:01:33.600
Do not hold or pull the plunger.

00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:39.200
Do not touch or remove the grey needle cap
until you are ready to inject.

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:44.800
The Kefdensis pre-filled syringe is for subcutaneous use only.

00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.520
Check the expiry date on the label.

00:01:48.520 --> 00:01:51.640
Do not use if the product has expired.

00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:57.880
Kefdensis may be stored at room temperature (up to 25 °C)

00:01:57.880 --> 00:02:01.560
for up to 30 days in the original carton.

00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.080
It must be used within this 30-day period,

00:02:05.080 --> 00:02:08.360
without exceeding the original expiry date.

00:02:09.640 --> 00:02:14.360
Lay out everything you will need on a clean, well-lit surface:

00:02:15.160 --> 00:02:17.760
the new pre-filled syringe,

00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:19.680
an alcohol wipe,

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.760
a cotton ball or gauze pad,

00:02:22.760 --> 00:02:24.200
a plaster,

00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:26.600
and a sharps disposal container.

00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:32.120
Do not use the pre-filled syringe and
contact your healthcare provider

00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.920
if it has been shaken, dropped on a hard surface,

00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:40.040
if any part of the syringe appears cracked or broken,

00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:44.720
or if the grey needle cap is missing
or not securely attached.

00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:49.160
Wash your hands thoroughly
with soap and water.

00:02:50.920 --> 00:02:54.440
The best places to inject are around the belly,

00:02:54.440 --> 00:02:58.000
at least 5 cm away from the belly button,

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.320
or the upper part of the thigh.

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.560
If someone else is giving you the injection,

00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:07.880
you can also use the outer area of the upper arm.

00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:13.680
Clean the injection site with an alcohol
wipe and let the skin dry.

00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:17.200
Do not touch the injection site before injecting.

00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:21.440
Do not inject into areas where the skin is tender,

00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:25.240
bruised, red, hard, scarred,

00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:26.960
or has stretch marks.

00:03:28.160 --> 00:03:32.000
Hold the body of the pre-filled syringe in one hand.

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.120
With the needle pointing away from your body,

00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:40.160
carefully pull the grey needle cap straight off and dispose of it.

00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:48.640
Use the other hand to pinch the injection site
to create a firm surface,

00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:51.960
and keep the skin pinched when injecting.

00:03:52.920 --> 00:03:58.760
Insert the needle into the pinched skin
at around a 45-degree angle.

00:04:00.200 --> 00:04:07.480
Use your thumb to push the plunger with
slow and constant pressure all the way down.

00:04:09.480 --> 00:04:11.640
Release your thumb,

00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.320
then lift the syringe off the skin.

00:04:17.640 --> 00:04:19.680
After releasing the plunger,

00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:25.160
the pre-filled syringe safety guard will safely
cover the injection needle.

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.320
After completing the injection, examine
the injection site.

00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:37.160
If there is blood, press a cotton ball or gauze pad
on the injection site without rubbing.

00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:39.760
Apply a plaster if needed.

00:04:40.760 --> 00:04:45.080
Discard the used pre-filled syringe and other supplies

00:04:45.080 --> 00:04:49.560
in a sharps disposal container straight away after use,

00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:52.320
in accordance with local requirements.
