Indications for Use
The InPen System is a home-use reusable pen injector for single-patient use by people with diabetes under the supervision of an adult caregiver, or by a patient age 7 and older for the self-injection of a desired dose of insulin. The pen injector is compatible with Lilly Humalog® U-100 3.0 mL cartridges, Novo Nordisk Novolog® U-100 3.0 mL cartridges, and Novo Nordisk Fiasp® U-100 3.0 mL cartridges and single-use detachable and disposable pen needles (not included). The pen injector allows the user to dial the desired dose from 0.5 to 30 units in one-half (1/2) unit increments. The InPen dose calculator, a component of the InPen app, is indicated for the management of diabetes by people with diabetes under the supervision of an adult caregiver, or by a patient age 7 and older for calculating an insulin dose or carbohydrate intake based on user entered data. For an insulin dose based on amount of carbohydrates, a healthcare professional must provide patient-specific target blood glucose, insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio, and insulin sensitivity parameters to be programmed into the software prior to use. For an insulin dose based on fixed/variable meal sizes, a healthcare professional must provide patient-specific fixed doses/meal sizes to be programmed into the software prior to use.
Device Story
InPen System comprises smart insulin pen, mobile app (iOS/Android), and cloud platform. System logs insulin doses, calculates mealtime/correction doses, and tracks glucose data. Input: user-entered meal/glucose data, insulin dose data from pen, and real-time CGM data from Carelink Cloud. Operation: app processes inputs via dose calculator (fixed, meal estimation, or carbohydrate counting methods) and provides alerts for missed doses or high glucose. Output: dose recommendations, logbook, and therapy reports. Used in home setting by patients or caregivers. Healthcare providers use reports to adjust therapy parameters. Benefits: improved insulin dosing accuracy and adherence through automated logging and alerts.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials performed. Evidence consists of a human factors summative usability evaluation involving adults, caregivers, and pediatric patients to validate the safety and effectiveness of the new alert functionalities. Software regression testing was conducted per FDA guidance to verify system performance.
Technological Characteristics
System includes smart pen, mobile app, and cloud connectivity. Software utilizes rule-based dose calculation algorithms. Connectivity via wireless transfer to app and cloud. Complies with ANSI AAMI ISO 14971:2019 (risk management) and ANSI AAMI IEC 62304:2006/A1:2016 (software lifecycle).
Indications for Use
Indicated for diabetes management in patients aged 7+ or under adult caregiver supervision, undergoing multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy, for insulin dose calculation or carbohydrate intake calculation based on user-entered data.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

The InPen dose calculator, a component of the InPen app, is indicated for the management of diabetes by people with diabetes under the supervision of an adult caregiver, or by a patient aged 7 and older for calculating an insulin dose or carbohydrate intake based on user entered data.
For an insulin dose based on amount of carbohydrates, a healthcare professional must provide patient-specific target blood glucose, insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio, and insulin sensitivity parameters to be programmed into the software prior to use.
For an insulin dose based on fixed/variable meal sizes, a healthcare professional must provide patient-specific fixed doses/meal sizes to be programmed into the software prior to use.
## C Special Conditions for Use Statement(s):
Rx - For Prescription Use Only
The insulin dose calculations provided by this device are meant for patients undergoing multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy.
## III Device Description
The InPen System consists of the InPen Smart Insulin Pen, the InPen App (which runs under an iOS or Android operating system), and the InPen Cloud.
The InPen App is designed to manage the wireless transfer of insulin dose data from the InPen, log insulin dose data, and provide a dose calculator to aid mealtime insulin dose calculations. The insulin dose calculations provided by the app are meant for patients undergoing multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy.
The App features a dose calculator that calculates the applicable dose of rapid-acting insulin based on information provided by the user (e.g., amount of carbohydrates in meals/meal type, current glucose levels, etc.) and current active insulin calculated (based on the time and amount of the last dose of rapid-acting insulin). The dose calculator can calculate the required insulin volume three different ways, namely: fixed dosing, meal estimation, or carbohydrate counting.
To get started, the user downloads and opens the App on a smart phone with either an iOS or Android operating system, creates an account, and follows the set-up steps within the set-up wizard. Once the user is logged in, the dose calculator and Long-Acting insulin settings prescribed by the healthcare provider (HCP) are entered. The three different methods include:
- Fixed Dosing
- Meal Estimation
- Carbohydrate Counting
As part of the set-up, the user pairs the InPen Smart Insulin Pen to the App prior to use. Once paired, the user can follow the video instructions in the App on the following subjects:
- Installing an insulin cartridge
- Taking an Insulin Dose
K242775 - Page 2 of 5
{2}
- Printing Reports
- Setting Notifications and Alerts
- Using the App
The App includes a logbook feature that displays the patient’s recent activity related to glucose values, meal types and sizes, dose calculations, doses by insulin type (rapid- or long-acting), cartridge replacement, and priming. Doses taken using the InPen Smart Insulin Pen are automatically received by the App and logged within the logbook, but the user can also manually log doses if needed. The App and Smart Insulin Pen are synchronized so that doses made while the App is disconnected, e.g., airplane mode or while Wi-Fi is unavailable are added upon reconnection.
