Priming the Administration Set
Use Aseptic Technique
Caution: It is important to completely prime the pump
tubing. Failure to do so may prevent the pump from infusing.
1. Open clamp.
2. Remove tubing cap to start priming (up to 15 minutes).
3. When all air has been removed from the entire tubing
and fluid flow is observed at end of the distal luer, the
administration set is primed.
4. Close clamp and replace tubing cap until ready for use.
If administration set does not prime, follow these steps:
1. Attach a luer adapter or stopcock to the distal luer.
2. Attach a small syringe (10 ml preferred) to the other
side of the adapter and pull back on the syringe to create
suction.
3. Continue to create suction until all air is removed from
the tubing and fluid flow is observed from the distal luer.
Repeat as necessary.
4. Disconnect syringe and luer adaptor or stopcock, and
observe pump for complete priming.
5. If this does not work, check to see if something else is
impeding flow, such as medication precipitate, closed
clamp or kinked tubing.
Starting Infusion
1. Connect catheter to pump tubing.
2. Open clamp to begin infusion.
3. Tape Flow Controller to skin to ensure flow rate
accuracy.
• Avoid contact with cold therapy or heat in close
proximity to flow controller.
• Do not tape over filter.

During the Infusion:
• A change in appearance and size of the pump may not be
evident during the first 24 hours after start of infusion.
• As medication is delivered, the pump will gradually
become smaller.
• Make sure:
• Flow controller taped to skin
• Clamp is open
• There are no kinks in the tubing
• Filter vent is not taped or covered
• Heat, ice or cold therapy is placed away from the flow
controller
End of Infusion:
• Infusion is complete when pump is no longer inflated.
• Dispose of pump according to your institution's protocol.
Note: If pump did not perform as expected do not discard.

Technical Specifications
Delivery Accuracy:
When filled to the labeled volume, flow accuracy is ±15% of
the labeled infusion rates when infusion is started 0-8 hours
after fill and delivering normal saline as the diluent at 88°F
(31ºC) with the pump positioned 16 inches (40 cm) below the
catheter site.
Typical Flow Curve
The flow rate may be higher or lower at the beginning and
end of the infusion (Figure 4).
