Step 1: Prepare your vials
Remove the caps from the vial of Novarel powder and the vial of bacteriostatic water. Clean the rubber stopper with an alcohol pad in a circular motion.

Step 2: Assemble your mixing syringe
Twist the mixing needle onto the syringe. Pull back the plunger to draw 10 mL of air into the syringe. Please note your mixing needle is not an injection needle. It is for mixing medications only.

Step 3: Draw out the bacteriostatic water
Place the vial of bacteriostatic water on a flat surface and insert the uncapped mixing needle through the rubber stopper. Invert the vial and push the air in the syringe into the vial of water. You will feel pressure as you push in the air; this pressure helps to pull out the water. After you push in the air, release the plunger. The water will start to pull into the syringe. If there is water left in the vial, pull your needle out of the vial so the tip of the needle is submerged in the water. This allows you to continue to pull bacteriostatic water into your syringe. Pull the needle out of the vial once you have 10 mL of water in your syringe.

Step 4: Mix the powder
Place the vial of Novarel powder on a flat surface and insert the needle through the rubber stopper. Slowly inject the bacteriostatic water into the powder. If you feel pressure, release the plunger to let air into your syringe, then continue to inject more water. You may need to do the “inject and release” technique a few times. Once all of the water is in the powder vial, release the plunger again to let air into the syringe. Pull the needle out and discard it in the sharps container. Gently swirl the vial until all of the powder is dissolved. Do not shake.

Step 5: Draw out your dose
Clean the rubber stopper with an alcohol pad in a circular motion. Switch to the smaller insulin needle to inject your dose. Remove the cap from your insulin syringe and insert the needle through the rubber stopper. Invert the vial and slowly pull the mixed medication into your syringe. *Your dose for this medication will be small.* To ensure you are injecting the correct amount: Pull out more of the medication than you need. Then push the extra back into the vial until the black plunger is lined up to your dose on the insulin syringe. This technique ensures that the syringe delivers the right amount of medication. The example in our video shows an injection dose of 4 units on the insulin syringe. This is for demonstration purposes only and your actual dose may not be 4 units.
