Proper refillable insulin pen

[Maiaao]

Have you guys heard of go-pen.com?

Personally, it solves the problem of unsterile/debris filled carts from the Chinese for me.

A danish company, I think backed by novo nordisk, has FDA approval and CE certification. Replaceable cartridges of 100 units looks like.

Cant find it for sale anywhere though.

I can't see the difference between this and a regular V1 from a good seller, and there's no way I'ma read an entire webpage of marketing to find out.

I requested sales info from the website. Hopefully they will respond. Why get FDA approval and CE Mark, along with the ISO14040/44 life cycle assessments if they aren't ready to sell?
73% lower carbon footprint compared to syringes sounds good.

You are quick, I am still thinking of what to ask 😂

I think they are in a pre production phase, and are sending out kits to organizations. At least that's what I gather from their LinkedIn.

How does it solve that? This is a pen, not empty cartridges.

Empty carts are for sale, you fill them up like a syringe. Check out the video. https://www.go-pen.com/product

I read it and I still don't get the revolutionary bit. All the latest and greatest actual RX pens are like bluetooth enabled smart pens that track everything with an associated app. I'm not sure what the hell this thing is. Its like a throwback from 20years ago.

Yeah, ok that's good shit. Sucks that it's only 1.3ml but if they aren't expensive, I'd definitely buy it.

I agree that is indeed a bit low, one might get only 3 injections out of it. Perhaps they are being cautious about bacterial growth since the carts aren't being filled in a sterile environment?

I still don't get it. Regular v-everythings hold 3ml. Like, am I missing a clear improvement?

Jesus Christ, deliver me from simple devices that are Now With Bluetooth and Unnecessary Tracking. My treadmill came with an app, and no, damnit, push the button and walk fast til my show is over.

Well if you make it 1.2ml then you can sell your own proprietary cartridges.....maybe that is the revolutionary bit.

The improvement is there is no debris in the carts and they are actually sterile 😉
