The iXL™ Pump
Fill the new pump
1. Use an alcohol prep swab to clean the top of the insulin vial;
discard the prep swab.
2. Lock the filling needle onto the syringe by turning it
clockwise (Figure 5-8).
3. Remove protective cap from needle.
Use care after removing the needle cap and exposing
the fill needle.
4. Draw air into syringe equal to the amount of insulin being
withdrawn.
5. Insert needle into vial and inject the air. This makes it easier
to draw the insulin out of the vial.
6. Withdraw insulin from vial, expelling any air bubbles. Fill
syringe with enough insulin for 72 hours, or at least to the
MIN (minimum) fill line (Figure 5-9).
Avoid using insulin from more than one vial, which may
introduce air into the syringe.
