    Ambulatory Insulin Infusion Pump Reservoir

     

    The Wellion MICRO-PUMP Reservoir is a component of the Wellion MICRO-PUMP insulin pump system and is used to store insulin. The sterilized reservoir should be used with the Wellion MICRO-PUMP pump and disposable infusion set.


    The reservoir

     

     

    The Reservoir package consists of a reservoir, fill adapter and pull rod. The total capacity of the Reservoir is 2.0ml, which is equal to 200 units of U-100 insulin.

     

     

     

    Usage

    1. Remove the new Reservoir from the packaging.

    2. Use the pull rod to pull the piston to the full position inside the Reservoir, then push it completely to the empty position. Repeat this three times ending with the piston in the empty position as in Figure 1.

    3. Use an alcohol wipe to clean the insulin vial and then attach it to the fill adapter as in Figure 2.

    4. With the insulin vial on top, slowly pull the pull rod and draw insulin into the Reservoir as in figure 3.

    5. Tap the side of the Reservoir to encourage any air bubbles to rise to the top of the reservoir (Figure 4).

    6. Push the pull rod slowly to eject the bubbles back into the vial, and then slowly pull to draw more insulin into the Reservoir. Repeat until the Reservoir has enough insulin and there are no air bubbles (Figure 5).

    7. Remove the insulin vial from the fill adapter (Figure 6).

    8. Pull the two release tabs (shown in Figure 7) away from the reservoir to release the fill adapter.

    9. Remove the pull rod by unscrewing it counterclockwise (Figure 9).
