Instructions

Before refilling or suspending drug therapy of the Programmable Pump, the drug refill reservoir must be
emptied.

Emptying the Drug Refill/Reservoir

1. Place sterile programmer sleeve over Programmer. Turn the Programmer ON and press INQ. Place the
Prometra Programmer over the pump. An audible beep sounds during inquiry of the pump. Check the
Pump Status screen and note the Reservoir Volume. The Reservoir Volume is the expected volume of
fluid remaining in the pump.
2. USE STERILE TECHNIQUE. Always inspect and aseptically prepare the site according to standard
practice.
3. Locate the drug refill/reservoir septum with palpation and by placing the refill access template over the
pump and aligning the edges of the template with the edges of the pump. Use a sterile pen to mark
the site for needle entry. Set template aside.
Warning: Always use the Prometra Refill Access Template to ensure proper access to the drug refill/
reservoir septum. Using the incorrect template may result in drug overdose or infusate delivery into
the pump pocket. If you are unsure of the proper access, use image guidance to verify proper needle
placement.
4. Attach one of the 22G non-coring needles to the extension tubing.
Warning: Use only the 22G non-coring needle supplied in the Refill Kit to access the drug refill/
reservoir septum.
5. Slide the extension tubing clamp as far as possible toward the loose end of the tubing and close
the clamp.
6. Attach the stopcock to the extension tubing. Turn the stopcock to the OFF position, perpendicular to
the extension tubing.
