a. Confirm that there are no active alarm events.
Note: If the pump is still in Shelf Mode, audible alarms are disabled. The pump must be
interrogated to determine if an alarm has been activated.
b. Confirm that the pump calibration constant displayed on the screen matches the
calibration constant printed on the shelf package.
w
Warning: The calibration constant displayed on the programmer screen after
reading the pump status must match the calibration constant printed on the
shelf package. If calibration constants differ, contact the appropriate Medtronic
representative listed on the inside back cover of this manual. Using an incorrect
calibration constant can result in a clinically significant or fatal drug underdose
or overdose.
3. Attach a "FOR YOUR RECORDS" label (enclosed in the shelf package) to the patient's
record. This label displays the pump model number, reservoir size, calibration constant,
and serial number.
Note: Updating the pump with the new parameters can be performed at this time or after
the implant procedure. Refer to "Programming the pump" on page 20 for instructions.

Sterile procedure

1. Open the sterile pump package and remove the pump.
2. Remove the protective cap from the catheter port (a small amount of water might be
present in the protective cap).

Emptying the pump

1. Assemble the 22-gauge noncoring needle and the empty syringe.
2. Insert the needle into the reservoir fill port until the needle touches the metal needle stop.
3. Withdraw the sterile water from the pump into the empty syringe (the pump is shipped
nearly full).
Note: If the volume of fluid in the pump reservoir exceeds the volume of the syringe used
for emptying, remove the filled syringe and needle. Attach an empty syringe and needle,
and repeat until the pump reservoir is empty.
4. Empty the pump reservoir until air bubbles no longer appear in the syringe, ensuring all
water and air is removed from the pump reservoir.
5. Remove the syringe and needle from the reservoir fill port.

Preparing to fill the pump

1. If using preservative-free ziconotide sterile solution, refer to the preservative-free
ziconotide sterile solution drug labeling for instructions for use of this drug with the pump.
2. For all indicated drugs except preservative-free ziconotide sterile solution, refer to
Table 4 to determine the fill method.
