Warning: Rinse the pump reservoir between solutions when changing drug or
decreasing drug concentrations in the pump reservoir. A significant amount of drug may
be present in the pump reservoir after emptying the pump. This residual volume can not
be removed by emptying the pump. Rinsing the pump reservoir between solutions
minimizes the amount of drug in this residual volume but does not eliminate it. Failure
to account for residual drug in the pump reservoir can result in a concentration that is
different than intended and a clinically significant or fatal drug underdose or overdose.
For programmable pumps, program a bridge bolus after rinsing the pump reservoir. The
bridge bolus advances the old drug (the drug remaining in the pump tubing, catheter
access port, and catheter after emptying and refilling the pump) to the catheter tip at the
specified flow rate. Refer to the programming guide for specific procedures.
1. Empty the pump completely.
2. Fill the pump with sterile preservative-free Sodium Chloride Injection, USP.
3. Empty the pump completely.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3.

Refilling the pump

1. Confirm that the refill volume of the prescribed fluid does not exceed the reservoir
volume of the pump.
2. Attach the filter to the syringe containing the prescribed fluid and purge the air from the
fluid pathway.
3. Attach the syringe with the prescribed fluid and filter to the extension tubing set
(Figure 9).
4. Open the clamp and slowly (maximum 1 mL per 3 seconds) depress the plunger on the
syringe to inject the prescribed fluid into the pump reservoir.
