CHAPTER 4 Pump Implantation
Preprogramming and pre-testing the pump
Every Implantable Insulin Pump is fully tested before shipment and is
accompanied by a package insert indicating the measured stroke volume
and Pump type. Prior to shipping, each Pump is filled with sterile rinse
buffer to assure sterility.
Programming of the Pump may be performed a day before Pump implan-
tation. The Implantable Insulin Pump may be programmed through the
outer tray of the sterile package. First, the PPC needs to be “married” to
the Pump, then the Pump function is verified by performing the initializa-
tion procedure described in Chapter 3, PPC/Pump System Initialization.
Registration card
To ensure proper patient identification and device serial number tracking,
the Registration Card that accompanies each Pump must be completed
and promptly returned to MiniMed.
