Prepare the refill syringe for filling the Pump
1. Firmly attach the stopcock to the IN refill syringe and attach an 18
gauge needle to the stopcock. Draw 20 ml of Aventis HOE PH U-400
insulin into the syringe.
2. Expel all air from the refill syringe. Close the stopcock and remove
the 18 gauge needle.
3. Retract the plunger until it locks into place. This should be no further
than 55 ml - do not go beyond the vent hole. Press the lock into the
plunger groove to be sure it is firmly secured.
4. Shake vigorously for a minimum of 30 seconds.
5. Point the syringe tip upward and slowly open the stopcock to allow air
to enter the syringe.
6. Release the locking ring on the refill syringe. With the syringe pointed
upward, push on the plunger to expel the air and prime the stopcock.
7. Open the stopcock and prime the refill needle. Attach the refill needle
to the stopcock. Close the stopcock.
8. Inspect the syringe to ensure there are no air bubbles. If air bubbles
are noted, remove the refill needle and repeat steps 2 - 7.
9. Weigh the refill syringe and record on the refill form.
10. Set the syringe aside.
