Remove guide needles and record refill amount
At this point, the 18 gauge guide needles should be removed, and the refill
amount should be calculated and recorded.
1. Remove the 18 gauge guide needles and discard them. Apply pressure
to the insertion sites.
2. Weigh syringes 5 and 6 and record their combined weight on the
Refill Form. Subtract the combined weight from the weight obtained
in step 14 of this section, Remove Rinse Buffer and fill with
INSULIN. The result is the new refill amount.
3. Record the extracted and new refill amounts in the PPC.
Using the patient’s PPC, cancel the SUSPEND mode, to return to the nor-
mal patient’s basal rate.
