For safety reasons:
DO NOT grasp gray needle cap.
DO NOT put the gray needle cap back onto syringe.
DO NOT grasp clear plunger.
B Inspect medicine and Neulasta prefilled syringe. The Neulasta liquid should always be clear and colorless.

Any part appears cracked or broken.
The gray needle cap is missing or not securely attached.
The expiration date printed on the label has passed.
DO NOT remove gray needle cap until ready to fill On-body Injector.
DO NOT pull needle safety guard down over the needle until filling is complete.
In all the above cases, start again with a new Neulasta Onpro kit. Call Amgen at 1-800-772-6436.
The prefilled syringe gray needle cap contains dry
natural rubber, which is derived from latex.

Take care to expel air only and not medicine.
A small droplet at the tip of the needle during air purging is normal.
DO NOT recap syringe.

DO NOT insert needle into medicine port at other than a 90 degree angle
DO NOT insert needle more than once.
DO NOT remove blue needle cover before filling the On-body Injector.
E Pull needle safety guard down until it clicks and covers needle. Dispose of empty syringe in a sharps container.
F Check to see if the On-body Injector is full.
You should see:
- amber status light flashing.
- black line next to FULL on the fill indicator
If this is not the case, do not use. Start again with a new Neulasta Onpro kit, and call Amgen at 1-800-772-6436.
Step 3: Apply
A Firmly lift and remove blue needle cover away from On-body Injector.
