Launch of NovoPen Echo – The First Pen in the US with Half-Unit Dosing and Memory Function
On January 21, Novo Nordisk announced the launch of the NovoPen Echo in the US. This is the first and only pen device available in the US with half-unit dosing and a memory function that can record the dose and time passed since the last injection. The pen will be used with NovoLog (insulin aspart) prefilled cartridges and should be particularly useful for children who may forget doses or need finer adjustments in insulin. The NovoPen Echo received FDA clearance in August 2013. For more information, please read our new now next on the device. –NL
