English to Chinese translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Instruments / handheld medical instrument
English term or phrase: primed & priming
E. Without rewinding the internal plunger, screw the cartridge holder and body firmly together. This will release the cartridge bung and expel some of the insulin, however, the device will not be "primed".
F. Repeat steps 6 & 7 thus "priming" the device fully.

＝＝My first attempt is
E. 鬆開藥匣的塞子，並噴出少量胰島素．然而，裝置將" will not be "primed""
F. 重複步驟6和7，並重申”Priming=填裝?"裝置

Prime這裡到底是什麼意思啊！

预喷
Explanation:
使用鼻腔喷雾药品时,在首次使用之前,要往空气中喷一两下,以排出空气,使喷出的为均匀的雾状,头一两次喷出的是水滴,然后就是喷雾了.这个过程就是priming,至于中文意思,我还真没找到,只能告诉你是这么理解的,翻译为预喷也比较勉强.

还有一段英文供参考:
Why is priming important?
Priming fills any empty spaces inside the needle or cartridge with insulin and checks that insulin
will flow out of your pen when you inject. You may need to prime once or repeat several times to
get the insulin flowing out of the needle. Always prime to be sure insulin is flowing after changing a
cartridge and before each injection. If you do not prime until insulin comes out, you could get a
wrong insulin dose.

Always ensure that PEN has been "primed"
是为了保证空气已经在priming时被完全排出,使注射的剂量准确,否则里面会混有空气,剂量不准.

PRIMED = 準備就緒; PRIMING = 進行步緒


Explanation:
In verb form, PRIME could mean “Make or Become Ready”,

So, PRIMED = 準備就緒
PRIMING = 進行步緒
Ref: MS Encarta Dictionary.

Additional usage ref: a headline in yesterday’s New York Times shown - “Housing market primed for a fall?”

In my private glossary, I recorded this word as
Primed = 準備就緒,進入…階段,步入…處境

Hope this helps!

充满


Explanation:
prime的原意是在枪枝内填满火药，以使其发射的意思。
在此是将药物先充满整个空间，这样方能喷出的意思。

primed是充满后喷出
而priming则是喷出前充满的过程。
换句话说prime是个连续的动作。
