Dial and Lock Reminder

IMPORTANT: Check Your Dose Before You Leave the Pharmacy

DIASTAT® AcuDial™ has a unique locking mechanism that ensures that you receive the correct dose. Before leaving the pharmacy, follow these steps:
  1. Remove the DIASTAT AcuDial from the case.
  2. Confirm that the prescribed dose is visible in the display window, and if known, is correct.
  3. Make sure that the green "READY" band is visible. If it is not, tell your pharmacist immediately.
  4. If the prescription is for a child, ensure that you have the smaller tip size. Tip sizes come in 4.4 cm or 6.0 cm.
  5. Because you receive 2 DIASTAT AcuDial delivery systems as part of your Twin Pack with each prescription, be sure to double-check both.
Ask your pharmacist if you have any questions about these instructions.

Please note: a 2.5-mg pre-filled syringe of DIASTAT is still available. This delivery system does not require dialing and locking prior to dispensing or use.

What you should do if you don't see the green "READY" band

If you don't see the green "READY" band, it means that the medicine in your DIASTAT AcuDial is not properly locked in. If you are at the pharmacy when this happens, do not accept the prescription and contact the pharmacist immediately. If you have already left the pharmacy, return the DIASTAT AcuDial to the pharmacy immediately. In either case, please call 1-877-361-2719. Do not use a DIASTAT AcuDial that does not have the correct dose properly locked in.
