Emptying the pump

1. Identify the pump model, reservoir volume, and location of the reservoir fill port and
catheter access port.
2. Confirm that the refill volume of the prescribed fluid does not exceed the reservoir
volume of the pump.
3. Prepare the injection site by cleansing the area.
4. Open the kit and glove packages. Put on the sterile gloves.
5. Place the drape, exposing the pump site.
6. Using sterile procedures, assemble the needle, extension tubing, and empty syringe
(Figure 8).
7. Locate the reservoir fill port septum by placing the template over the pump and aligning
the edges of the template with the edges of the pump.
8. Close the clamp (Figure 8).
9. Gently insert the 22-gauge needle through the template center hole and into the center
of the reservoir fill port septum until the needle touches the needle stop (Figure 8).
