Preprogramming and pre-testing the pump

6. 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.
7. Fill one 3 mL syringe with RINSE BUFFER (RB) and attach a needle.
8. Fill the Pump fill port using the 3 mL syringe. Any time a refill nee-
dle is to be inserted into the Pump fill port, a fluid barrier must be
present to prevent air from entering the Pump reservoir.
9. With the stopcock still closed, insert the RB syringe into the Pump fill
port. Press down with at least one-half pound of force to open the
inlet valve. As the needle passes through the septum and seats in the
valve, you can feel approximately 0.5mm of movement as the valve is
opened.
10. Open the stopcock and allow the syringe vacuum to empty the Pump
of shipping fluid. Allow 30 seconds after the fluid level appears to
have stopped rising in the refill syringe, to assure the Pump is com-
pletely emptied. Close the stopcock and remove the syringe.
