How to set up a 10ml fill continuous infusion using APO-go PFS Equipment required: 1 x APO-go PFS (Pre-filled syringe) 5mg/ml solution for infusion, 1 x Penta Ferte APO-go plastic syringe, 1 x rigid connector, 1 x infusion line, 1 x sharps bin or equivalent, 1 x APO-go Pump with spacer, 1 x APO-go preparation tray. (Remember to always use a new line for each infusion). It is recommended you use a preparation tray as it enables quicker and easier filling. If you do not have a preparation tray, please call the APO-go Helpline on: 0844 1 880 1327 2 3 Ensure that there is free movement of the black bung inside the plastic syringe chamber, by moving the syringe stem up and down. Pushing the stem, ensure that the black bung is located as far down the chamber of the plastic syringe as possible. 5 6 7 Ensure the spacer device is attached to the APO-go Pump. The spacer came with the Pump in the original packaging. Be careful not to throw it away by mistake when you disconnect the Pump at the end of infusion! Place the base of the plastic syringe onto the APO-go Pump and twist clockwise, to engage the syringe wings. 9 10 11 12 Place the open end of the APO-go glass PFS into the open end of the connector and invert the connected syringes to ensure any bubbles rise up to the black bung in the glass PFS. Holding both syringes firmly, push down on the glass syringe stem (there may be a small amount of resistance at this stage, but once overcome, the solution will transfer easily). Ensure that all of the solution is transferred so that the bung in the plastic syringe has moved down to touch the Pump spacer. There should be no gap between the bung and the spacer. Take the APO-go plastic syringe and its blue cap out of the packaging. Dispose of the needle and its casing in the sharps bin. (Retain the blue cap in a safe place as this will be required when transfer of solution is complete). Holding the glass pre-filled syringe (PFS) containing the APO-go vertically with the cap at the top, remove the rubber cap. PFS_Guide_Port_FINAL.indd 1 Take the connector and screw firmly onto the open end of the plastic syringe. 4 Unscrew the stem from the black bung, turning anticlockwise. 8 Insert the APO-go Pump into the preparation tray (if one is present) with the syringe facing upwards. 20/04/2012 11:51 13 14 Depress and release the stem of the glass PFS gently a few times to dispel any large bubbles from the plastic syringe (small residual bubbles may remain, these are not a concern). Tap the plastic syringe to release any trapped bubbles. 17 15 Holding the connector between thumb and forefinger of one hand, unscrew the connector and the glass PFS from the plastic syringe. 16 Using the retained blue cap from the original plastic syringe packaging, screw the cap back onto the plastic syringe. 18 Discard the empty connector and the empty glass APO-go PFS into the sharps bin. Remove the line from its packaging. Unscrew the blue cap. Attach the line to the plastic syringe and turn the APO-go Pump on ready to prime the line.
