Has anyone had your cart stopper moving crooked & hard to push?

What was your solution?

Yes. I haven't fixed it, but I need to. I'm at a remote location and have no access to my spare cartridges, or shipping to get additional supplies. (I do have some basics (spare diabetic syringes, filters, BAC water).

I'm thinking I'm going to dribble a bit of BAC water down the underside of the cart, and then inject some air thru the top to move the stopper down a bit. Then try the cart again.

Alternative is either wait 2 months till repat, or suck contents of cart into diabetic syringes, and go back to the old school injections.

I don't like either option.

Mine was just filled. Im thinking I might have not lined the push in the pen properly. I didn't think to check this before. Unless some carts can be faulty? Idk lol Its my first experience with this
 
I'm guessing the "correct" fix would be to use a 3ml syringe to suck all the 'tide out of the cart, attach a filter, and put into a new cart.

Whose carts are you using? Mine are from Amazon, near as I can tell. Pens are from peppens.com. image.webp
