PRIMING THE ADMINISTRATION SET
Use Aseptic Technique
CAUTION: Do not remove the red tab until the tubing is
completely primed. Up to a 5 ml bolus of air may be delivered
if not primed correctly.
1. Lay the ONDEMAND* device on flat surface with the red
tab label side up (Figure 4A).

Lay on flat surface
2. Open clamp and remove tubing cap to begin priming.
Do not discard tubing cap.
3. When all air has been removed from the entire tubing
and fluid is observed at end of Luer lock (approximately
4 minutes), the administration set is primed.
4. Replace tubing cap until ready for use.
5. Remove the red tab by pulling straight out (Figure 4B).
It is important to remove red tab completely and ensure it
does not break (Figure 4C). The ONDEMAND* bolus device
will begin to fill.

Right Way
WARNING: Do not pull the red tab upwards as
breakage could occur (Figure 4C). If red tab is not
removed or breaks while removing, continuous
delivery will occur. This delivery may be
significantly greater than the Total Flow Rate
(bolus + basal).

6. The device is now ready to use; however, a complete bolus
dose won't be available until the labeled refill time has
elapsed. The orange indicator should be at the top level
(Figure 4D).

STARTING INFUSION
Use Aseptic Technique
1. Connect tubing to patient's catheter. Make sure
connection is secure.
2. The patient or clinician should give a bolus as soon as
possible after the infusion has started to ensure the bolus
device is working properly. The bolus button should pop up
within a few minutes and the orange indicator should begin
to move towards the top.
BOLUS ACTIVATION
1. Press down on the ONDEMAND* button until it locks into
place (Figure 4E).
2. Bolus will be delivered and ONDEMAND* device will begin
to refill.
3. The orange indicator shows how much medication is in
the bolus device (Figure 4D).
4. The next full bolus will be available when orange indicator
is at the top level.
5. Pressing the bolus button prior to the end of the refill time
will result in a partial bolus dose.
WARNING: If the bolus button will not latch, close
the clamp. Otherwise continuous medication delivery
may be occurring. This delivery may be significantly
greater than the Total Flow Rate.
It is normal that it will not latch within 30 minutes of
NOTE:
pressing the bolus button.
