Filling Instructions
Fill pouch with formulation. If using a high concentration of oil a special nitrile pump is needed and available upon request.
Common filling devices are syringes, unguators and icing bags.
Ensure that all medication is removed from the neck of the pouch by wiping the area well. Place actuator on top of bottle and press down firmly with heel of palm. You will hear a snap.
The SleekLine models require 2 distinct snaps. If not seated properly the pump may fail to prime or hold prime. To test if it is seated properly, the over cap will be in complete contact with the bottle, no white will show.
Remove all air before priming to ensure accurate dosing.
To prime the pump, press down on actuator until formulation comes out. The first dose of medication will be a partial dose. The following dose will be a complete dose.
We recommend the patient to wait 30-60 seconds between doses to allow the pump time to pull up the next dose, more time for thicker viscosities.
Attach linked cap to keep the tiny amount of medication in the nozzle fresh.
Other important information:
- Syringe and icing bag or unguator filling methods (Various methods may be used to fill the pouch.)
- For best results, insert Topi-Filling Adapter into bottle and slowly remove adapter as the bottle fills up.
- To avoid air pockets in the cream, gently tap the bottle on a counter, or use a vibration plate. This will ensure accurate dosing.
- To ensure a proper seal of the actuator, remove any cream that was deposited in the neck of the pump.
- Do not fill more than 10% over the stated volume of the pouch. Overfill 10 percent (max) to allow for priming and residual cream.
- Allow 90 seconds between pumps, or when pump is fully extended.
Note: Any application of prescription drugs should be evaluated by the pharmacist to ensure suitability. Keep prescription drugs out of reach of children.
