27. With the stopcock closed, press the refill needle into the Pump fill
port.
28. Open the stopcock. Maintain downward pressure on the barrel of the
syringe to ensure the inlet valve of the Pump remains open.
Never push on the refill syringe plunger to
fill the Pump. When the refill needle is
properly seated in the fill port of the
Pump, the vacuum in the reservoir will
draw the insulin from the syringe.
29. Allow the Pump vacuum to draw the INSULIN into the reservoir.
When the INSULIN stops moving, the Pump is filled. Close the stop-
cock and remove the syringe.
30. Prepare the IN1 syringe for aspiration. Remove any air from the
syringe, prime the needle, close the stopcock and obtain a vacuum by
pulling back on the plunger until it locks. Press the lock into the
plunger groove to be sure it is firmly secured. A fluid barrier of at
least 2 mL should remain in the syringe.
31. Press the refill needle back into the Pump fill port with the stopcock
closed.
32. Open the stopcock and empty the Pump. Allow 30 seconds after the
INSULIN level appears to have stopped rising in the refill syringe to
assure the Pump is completely emptied.
33. Close the stopcock and remove the syringe.
