the stopcock to prevent air from entering the Pump. Observe syringe
5. At least 1 ml of INSULIN must pass into syringe 5 to be sure that
all of the RINSE BUFFER is removed from the side port. If less than
1 ml enters, repeat the bolus from Step 6, some Pumps may require 3
successive boluses to obtain 1 ml.
8. Close both stopcocks. Remove syringe 6 from the Pump. Set aside
the syringe to be weighed.
9. With the stopcock closed, remove syringe 5 from the side port.
