So I was just getting for the next shot, grabbed my Fiasp pen and when I screwed the needle on top, a quick glance over the reservoir caught my eye. For whatever reason, the liquid turned into a cloudy suspension. Here's a picture of it:
And no, those aren't tiny air bubbles. There are flaky particles in the solution. It looked aweful with everything settled but since I handled it, everything got suspended again so in reality, it looks even worse. On the right is a regular clear pen for reference.
I've only used it for 4-5 days and stored it at temperatures below 23°C in my office. Got it from my pharmacy in a cool state and transported it to my fridge right away, all of which took about 10 mins. Given the season, there shouldn't be a temperature problem anyways.
Has anybody else ever seen anything like it or have an idea what may have caused it?
It's a German pen, but I wouldn't be surprised if they just labeled the same pens in different languages, so the same batch might end up elsewhere as well.
The product is a Fiasp FlexTouch pen, good through 10/2021. Lot No. is JP53265.
This. Is. Gross.
