Pump refill procedure
75
4. Actuate the valve by applying a gentle downward force on the refill needle.
This depresses the valve approximately 0.5 mm.
5. Open the stopcock and allow residual insulin from the Pump to be drawn into
the RB refill syringe. Maintain a downward pressure on the syringe to ensure
that the inlet valve in the Pump remains open. Wait 30 additional seconds
after the insulin level appears to have stopped rising in the RB refill syringe
to ensure the Pump is completely emptied.
6. When all residual insulin is withdrawn from the Pump, close the stopcock.
Remove the RB refill syringe.
NOTE: Do not remove the 18 gauge guide needle.
7. Weigh the RB syringe and record on the refill form.
