Summary

Is there a refillable insulin pen that provides sterile user-filled cartridges without debris?

The thread examines a Danish-made refillable pen with replaceable cartridges that users fill themselves. Participants compare it to standard versions and question its smaller capacity along with the lack of smart features. Some see value in the sterility aspect while others find no meaningful upgrade over existing options.

What this discussion establishesWhere people disagree

Whether the smaller sterile cartridges represent a real improvement or just unnecessary complication compared to standard 3ml options

I wonder if anyone else is familiar with this pen gadget from a firm in Denmark. It addresses my concerns about contaminated or unclean cartridges made overseas. The makers carry official clearances from regulatory bodies. Their design uses swappable cartridges holding a hundred doses. Still I haven't located anywhere that offers it for purchase.

This one appears identical to the basic V1 that a decent seller would offer, so I'm not about to go through that whole marketing page to learn anything.

I reached out to their site asking about availability. Fingers crossed for a reply soon. It seems odd to obtain all those certifications and assessments without plans to market the product. That big drop in emissions relative to standard injectors is appealing.

You're fast with replies while I'm still deciding on questions here πŸ˜‚ It looks like they're handling early development work and passing sample packs to groups, based on what shows up in their LinkedIn.

I'm puzzled about the resolution here since this amounts to a writing instrument rather than spent ink holders.

I spotted some blank cartridges available to buy where you load them using a syringe approach. There's a clip showing the process.

After checking the details I still can't see why anyone would call it groundbreaking. Modern high end pens in this category come with wireless connections and link up to software that logs every bit of activity. This gadget makes no sense to me whatsoever. It feels like something left over from two decades back.

This seems like decent stuff. The small volume is a bummer but if the price is right then I would purchase it.

Yeah, that does seem rather small. You could probably only pull three doses from each one. Maybe the caution comes from concerns over microbes, given that the containers aren't prepared under cleanroom conditions.

I'm puzzled about the whole idea. Ordinary versions contain three milliliters. Is there really any obvious upgrade that I'm overlooking? For crying out loud, spare me from basic gadgets now featuring wireless links and pointless monitoring. The exercise machine I bought included software, but honestly just hit the switch and stride quickly until my program finishes.

Perhaps going with that capacity would let me offer cartridges made just for my setup and maybe that's where the novelty lies.

A nice change is how these trolleys contain zero particles and qualify as truly sterile πŸ˜‰

I've got ten of these carts and they're about to turn me into a billionaire.
