Package Contents
- 1 x YOUSHARES Insulin Organizer Bottle
- 1 x Portable Storage Lid
- 1 x Gel Ice Pack
Setup
1. Preparing the Gel Ice Pack
For optimal cooling performance, the included gel ice pack must be thoroughly chilled before use. Place the gel ice pack in a refrigerator or freezer for at least 10-12 hours, or until completely frozen. For best results, a 24-hour pre-chill is recommended.

2. Assembling the Cooler
- Remove the portable storage lid and the inner cap from the main cooler bottle.
- Insert the pre-chilled gel ice pack into the main cooler bottle. Ensure it sits at the bottom.
- Place your insulin pens or vials directly into the bottle, alongside the ice pack. The wide-mouth design allows for easy placement of 1-5 insulin pens or up to 8 vials.
- Secure the inner cap back onto the bottle, followed by the portable storage lid.

- Ice Pack Care: The gel ice pack can be reused indefinitely. After each use, clean it with water and store it in the freezer so it's ready for your next trip.
- Storage: When not in use, store the cooler in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals on any part of the cooler, as this may damage the materials or finish.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Medication not staying cool | Ice pack not fully frozen. | Ensure the gel ice pack is frozen for at least 10-12 hours (24 hours recommended) before use. |
| Cooling duration is shorter than expected | Frequent opening of the lid; high ambient temperature. | Minimize opening the cooler. In very hot climates, consider using additional ice packs or keeping the cooler in a shaded area. |
| Lid is difficult to close | Contents are overfilled or misaligned. | Check that insulin pens/vials and the ice pack are correctly positioned and not overfilling the capacity. |
