Introduction
There is a limited supply until 2027 of NovoRapid PumpCart (insulin aspart) 100units/ml solution for injection 1.6ml cartridges.
For new patient starting the treatment and where NovoRapid PumpCart cartridges are unavailable for existing patients, NovoRapid 10ml vials (insulin aspart 100units/ml) should be prescribed.
These are compatible with the mylife YpsoPump reservoirs.
Switching between these formulations means you will require additional equipment and training.
Ordering your new equipment
The additional equipment can be ordered directly from YpsoMed via your mylife app, or alternatively calling the contact telephone number below.
Training
Over the coming weeks, Ypsomed are hosting regular training sessions to support you in using the mylife YpsoPump reservoir.
Each session will include a practical demonstration of how to fill the reservoir.
