Remove guide needles and record fill amount
At this point, the 18 gauge guide needles should be removed and the refill
amount should be calculated and recorded. Follow the steps below:
1. Remove the 18 gauge guide needles. Apply pressure to the needle insertion
sites.
2. Weigh syringes 6 and 7 and record on the refill form. Subtract the combined
weight from the weights obtained in step 14 of the 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.
Program new basal rate
Using the patient’s PPC, cancel the SUSPEND mode, to return to the normal
patient’s basal rate and modify if needed.
