Instructions
Filling the Drug Refill/Reservoir
7. If the needle is not already in the septum from the emptying procedure, insert the needle through the
center of the drug refill/reservoir access septum, perpendicular to the skin and the pump. Advance the
needle until the needle tip resides completely inside the refill chamber.
Caution: Do not force the needle. Excessive force on the needle may damage the needle tip. Do not
rock the needle sideways as this may damage the pump or cause drug to leak into the pump pocket.
8. Keeping downward pressure on the syringe plunger, open the extension tubing clamp, and begin slowly
infusing the refill solution into the drug reservoir. At every 5 mL increment, release pressure on the
syringe plunger to allow 1 mL of infusate back into the syringe. This will verify that the needle is in the
correct position and the drug refill reservoir is being filled.
Caution: If the infusate does not return back into the syringe when pressure to the syringe plunger is
released, do not continue to infuse until proper placement of the needle has been verified.
