Emptying and filling the Pump
To prepare the Pump for implantation, the Pump must be emptied and then filled
twice and tested with insulin. These procedures are performed in the operating
room prior to surgery. As this is a surgery, all supplies and required equipment
should be prepared in accordance with the institution’s approved sterile proce-
dures.
When you remove the Pump from the sterile box,
do not remove the plastic tubing placed at the Pump
outlet. Trim the distal part with a scalpel blade. This
tubing will be used for the “Stroke Volume Mea-
surement” procedure.
A sterile field is established in the operating room to prepare the RINSE
BUFFER (RB) syringe and remove the shipping fluid from the Pump. Document
the Pump, Catheter and PPC serial numbers on the Implant Worksheet.
