The valve mechanism (18) includes a valve body (38) s including a reservoir port (40) adapted to be fluidly connected to the reservoir (50), a metering port (44) adapted to be fluidly connected to the metering device (16), a feeding port (42) adapted to be in fluid communication with the patient, and a priming port (46) in fluid communication with atmosphere. A valve member in the valve body (38) is adapted to selectively fluidly connect the reservoir port (40) to the priming port (46), to fluidly 10 connect the reservoir port (40) to the metering port (44), and to fluidly connect the metering port (44) to the feeding port (42).
