PCA
Refill Chart
Refill time is approximately linear.
PRIMING PCA DEVICE
Use Aseptic Technique
1. Depress PCA button until it latches in the down position (Figure A). Button will click and
stay locked down.
NOTE: For models including Select-A-Flow, there are two channels to prime. The PCA is
primed first followed by the Select-A-Flow. To begin priming PCA channel, set Select-A-
Ø
Flow dial to
, off position. Be sure dial "clicks" into place.
2. Lay PCA device on flat surface with red tab label side up (Figure B).
3. Open clamp and remove tubing cap to begin priming. Do not discard tubing cap.
NOTE: For models including Select-A-Flow, when all air is removed from the PCA and
fluid is observed at the luer lock (approximately 4 minutes), the PCA channel is primed.
To begin priming the Select-A-Flow, set dial to highest flow rate setting.
4. When all air has been removed from the entire tubing and fluid is observed at end of
luer lock, replace tubing cap until ready for use.
NOTE: For models including Select-A-Flow, set the Select-A-Flow dial back to Ø, off position
until ready for use.
5. Remove the red holding tab by pulling straight out (Figure C). It is important to remove
red tab completely and ensure it does not break (Figure D inset). The PCA button will
return to its upper most position allowing the bolus device to fill.
WARNING: Do not pull the red tab upwards as breakage could occcur (Figure D). Do
not use if red tab breaks inside unit as maximum flow rate (basal + bolus) can occur.
6. The pump is now ready to use, however a complete bolus dose won't be available until
the labeled refill time has elapsed. The orange bolus refill indicator will be at the top level
(Figure E).
