Medication reservoir
The medication reservoir holds the insulin and is refilled with a special
syringe through the Pump fill port.
Pumping mechanism
The pumping mechanism takes insulin from the medication reservoir and
delivers it through a catheter into your body. The pumping mechanism
delivers the same amount of insulin every time it pumps. The amount of
insulin delivered in each “stroke” of the pump mechanism is called the
stroke volume.
