Emptying the Drug Refill/Reservoir
9. The Empty Volume must be entered in the Prometra Programmer. The measurement of this volume
is important to ensure that the pump is working properly. Always carefully measure and record empty
volume.
10. If the Reservoir Volume is less than 10 mL, open the clamp on the extension tubing. Slowly turn
the stopcock from perpendicular to inline with the extension tubing to open the stopcock. Allow the
internal pump pressure to push the contents of the pump into the syringe barrel. This is the Empty
Volume.
11. If the Reservoir Volume is greater than 10 mL, then the Empty Volume must be collected in two steps
using the same emptying setup.
Step One
11.1. Open the clamp on the extension tubing. Slowly turn the stopcock from perpendicular to inline
with the extension tubing to open the stopcock.
11.2. Using the stopcock valve as a volume control device, collect approximately half of the expected
reservoir volume in the syringe barrel. Turn the stopcock valve to the OFF position and close
the clamp on the extension tubing. For example, if the expected return volume is 10 mL, then
collect 5 mL.
11.3. Disconnect the stopcock with its attached syringe barrel from the extension tubing. Holding the
syringe barrel vertical and at eye level, read the bottom of the meniscus formed by the fluid to
the nearest 0.2 mL. Record the syringe barrel volume as Step One Empty Volume.

11.4. Place the stopcock-syringe barrel assembly over the sterile Refill Kit Tray.
11.5. Turn the stopcock valve to the ON position to discard the Step One Empty Volume. When the
syringe barrel and stopcock are empty, turn the stopcock valve to the OFF position.
