Zusammenfassung:	A system and method are disclosed in the field of preparing a catheter (1) for use in a patient, in particular a catheter (1) of an intravascular blood pump (10), more specifically for properly purging and de-airing the catheter (1). The catheter (1) comprises an elongate tubular portion (11) and a connected device (230). The elongate tubular portion (11) is configured to be inserted into a patient's blood vessel and defines a lumen (12). The connected device (230) is connected to the elongate tubular portion (11) and has a cavity (13), which may accommodate a drive unit (4) of the blood pump (10), and which is in fluid communication with the lumen (12) of the elongate tubular portion (11). In order to securely de-air the system (100), a sensor (15), such as an accelerometer, for detecting an orientation of the connected device (230) is provided, and a user may be guided to correct the orientation of the connected device (230) for proper purging.
