Troubleshooting Pump System Under-delivery
132
Backflow conditions are characterized by increases in daily programmed
insulin usage, difficulty in maintaining euglycemia, increasingly negative
refill accuracy and sometimes hyperglycemia. Conform a backflow con-
dition by performing the Stroke Volume Measurement Procedure. Then
rinse the Pump System with NaOH solution to dissolve insulin deposits,
following the Pump Rinse Procedure outlined in Appendix E.
Under-delivery caused by catheter occlusion
Under-delivery caused by Catheter occlusion can occur either abruptly or
gradually. The insulin usage and clinical symptoms are identical to those
of Pump under-delivery. Confirm a Catheter occlusion condition by per-
forming a Pressure Measurement Procedure. Then perform the following
procedures to clear the occlusion:
• First, flush the Catheter by using the Side Port Catheter Flush
Procedure outlined in Appendix F.
• If the Flush Procedure is unsuccessful, replace the Catheter.
Catheter replacement surgery should be performed in a manner similar to
the initial Pump System implantation. PPC initialization will not be nec-
essary. However, after the Catheter replacement, Pump function and
delivery verifications must be performed.
