filling the disposable housing assembly;
actuating the filling aid device wherein the filling aid device is in the priming configuration; and
priming the disposable housing assembly.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of providing the filling aid attached to the disposable housing assembly comprises attaching the filling aid to the disposable assembly.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of providing the filling aid attached to the disposable housing assembly comprises rotatably attaching the filling aid to the disposable assembly.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
removing the disposable housing assembly from the filling aid device after priming the disposable housing assembly.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the disposable housing assembly has a valve, the valve having a closed position and an open position, and during the step of filling the disposable housing assembly the valve is in the closed position.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein during the step of priming the disposable housing assembly, the valve is in the open position.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
removing the disposable housing assembly from the filling aid device after priming the disposable housing assembly.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the disposable housing assembly has a first valve and a second valve, each valve having a closed position and an open position, and during the step of filling the disposable housing assembly the first valve and second valve are in their closed positions.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein during the step of priming the disposable housing assembly, the first valve and the second valve are in their open positions.
10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
removing the disposable housing assembly from the filling aid device after priming the disposable housing assembly.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the disposable housing assembly has a septum and the filling aid device defines a window, wherein when the filling aid device is in the locked configuration the window is not over the septum, and during the step of rotating the filling aid device into an unlocked configuration the window moves over the septum.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the step of providing the filling aid attached to the disposable housing assembly comprises attaching the filling aid to the disposable assembly.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the step of providing the filling aid attached to the disposable housing assembly comprises rotatably attaching the filling aid to the disposable assembly.
14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
removing the disposable housing assembly from the filling aid device after priming the disposable housing assembly.
15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the disposable housing assembly has a valve, the valve having a closed position and an open position, and during the step of filling the disposable housing assembly the valve is in the closed position.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein during the step of priming the disposable housing assembly, the valve is in the open position.
17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:
removing the disposable housing assembly from the filling aid device after priming the disposable housing assembly.
18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the disposable housing assembly has a first valve and a second valve, each valve having a closed position and an open position, and during the step of filling the disposable housing assembly the first valve and second valve are in their closed positions.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein during the step of priming the disposable housing assembly, the first valve and the second valve are in their open positions.
20. The method of claim 19 , further comprising:
removing the disposable housing assembly from the filling aid device after priming the disposable housing assembly.
