1. An assembly of a medical device adapted to be implanted in a human or animal body and a packaging, wherein:
said medical device includes a casing enclosing a fluid reservoir and a fluid outlet forming a fluid connection between the reservoir and a volume external to the casing,
the packaging includes a tank comprising a bottom, a sidewall and an upper face opposite the bottom in a vertical direction, the bottom of the tank extending in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the vertical direction, at least one of the bottom, the sidewall and the upper face comprises a first holding element adapted to hold the casing in the tank, the tank further comprising an opening configured to fill the tank with a biocompatible fluid so as to fill a fluid circuit extending from the fluid outlet to the fluid reservoir of the medical device with said biocompatible fluid,
the casing being held in the tank by said first holding element so that the reservoir is positioned between the bottom of the tank and the fluid outlet to allow draining the fluid circuit without handling the medical device, said fluid outlet being arranged below the opening so that when the tank is filled with the biocompatible fluid, said fluid outlet is immersed in the fluid.
