Instructions for Drawing Insulin from Vial into Syringe
PRECAUTION
ALWAYS remove all air bubbles before beginning insulin delivery. Ensure there are no air bubbles when
drawing insulin into the filling syringe, hold the pump with the white fill port pointed up when filling
the tubing, and ensure that there are no air bubbles in the tubing when filling. Air in the system takes
space where insulin should be and can affect insulin delivery.
The fill estimate displayed on the pump is the amount of insulin available for deliv-
ery. It does not include insulin needed to fill the tubing (up to 30 units) and a small
amount of insulin that is not available for delivery. When filling the syringe, add ap-
proximately 45 units to the amount of insulin you want available for delivery.
For example, the pump requires a minimum of 50 units available for delivery after
fill tubing has been completed. Fill the syringe with approximately 95 units to have
enough to fill your tubing and still have 50 units available for delivery.
1. Inspect the needle and syringe package for any signs of damage. Discard any
damaged product.
2. Wash your hands thoroughly.
3. Wipe the rubber septum of the insulin vial with an alcohol swab.
4. Remove the needle and syringe from their packaging. Securely twist needle
onto syringe. Safely remove protective cap from needle by pulling outward.
5. Draw air into syringe up to the amount of insulin desired (see image A).
6. With insulin vial upright, insert needle into vial. Inject air from syringe into vial.
Maintain pressure on syringe plunger (see image B).
