Prepare stock solution (as a rule, saline or glucose solution), add drugs, if necessary. Fill the syringes, the medications you entered during the procedure. Open the package with the system, prepare it for installation (close roller clamp, turn it down; remove the protective cap from the needle for vial and insert the needle completely into the vial with the solution; tighten the bottle around the table, several times, squeeze Podgornoe the scope to be filled with the drug to half; open the roller clamp and pull the air to the tubes not bubbles).
