Air Bubbles in Pen

[Barb & Checkers (GA)]

I accidentally injected air into pen recently. It was opened Aug 1.
Does that automatically make it toast, or do I just make sure, no bubbles in syringe, as normal?
I can see the bubbles in it.

I have had bubbles show up in mine at times, it didnt seem to shorten the life of the insulin, I would continue to remove any air in the syringe though and as usual if you start getting wonky numbers change the pen over to a new one.
I have even removed the air in the pen with a clean syringe but it didnt seem to make the insulin last any longer lol its mainly the factor that the pen cartridge works on a vacuum principal so it might make a difference if you were using the pen needles.

The insulin is likely fine. It may effect how well the pen works but it shouldn't effect the insulin.

I've had it happen a couple of times, but there didn't seem to be a problem.
