Central port (filling only)
Skin surface
Implanted infusion pump
PRECAUTIONS
Ensure that all luer-lock connections are secure.
Always ensure proper bolus needle placement (needle held perpendicular to
the pump and inserted completely to the needle stop) before injecting
a bolus.
Use of excessive force when inserting the bolus needle into the bolus port
can damage the needle tip. Never use a bolus needle if the tip is bent; use
the second bolus needle provided. Using a bent bolus needle can cause
damage to the bolus port, and result in a failure to administer
solution appropriately.
Required materials:
• Aspiration needle
• MedStream Bolus Kit
• Skin disinfectant
• Self-adhesive sterile bandage (optional)
1. Use the MedStream Control Unit to interrogate the pump. Scroll to the catheter
information section (the second page of the summary screens). If a one-piece
catheter system was used, make note of the "Implanted Catheter Volume." If a
two-piece catheter system was used, make note of the "Total Catheter Volume."

2. Connect one 10 mL syringe to the stopcock end of the connecting tube.
Connect the female luer-lock end of the connecting tube to the bolus needle.
3. Palpate the pump and locate the central port and the bolus port (next to the
pump outlet). Fluoroscopy can be used to assist in locating the bolus port.
4. Disinfect a wide area of skin over and around the bolus port; cover the
prepared area with a sterile fenestrated drape.
5. Holding the bolus needle perpendicular to the pump, puncture the bolus port.
Insert the bolus needle until it contacts the needle stop; twist the needle to ensure
it penetrates the silicone bolus channel beneath the bolus port.
6. With gentle negative pressure, aspirate an amount of drug solution equal to the
volume of the catheter(s).
7. Close the stopcock of the connecting tube and remove the syringe, leaving the
connecting tube and bolus needle in place.
8. Dispose of the aspirated drug solution and syringe in an appropriate manner.
9. Remove the bolus needle from the bolus port and, if necessary, cover the
injection site with a self-adhesive sterile bandage.
