Abstract
A method of pre-preparing a liquid delivery device valve includes (i) fluidically connecting at least that part of the liquid delivery device that contains the valve to a pumping system; (ii) connecting the pumping system to a fluid reservoir; (iii) running the pumping system so that fluid from the reservoir is forced through the valve under pressure, at a rate of flow that will cause necessary deformation and bedding-in of the valve.

A method of pre-preparing a liquid delivery device valve, comprising the steps of:
- (i) fluidically connecting at least that part of the liquid delivery device that contains the valve to a pumping system;
- (ii) connecting the pumping system to a fluid reservoir;
- (iii) running the pumping system so that fluid from the reservoir flows under pressure through that part of the liquid delivery device that contains the valve so as to force the valve to close, the fluid flowing at a rate of flow that will cause necessary deformation and bedding-in of the valve.
