Prepare Syringe and Administration Set (Syringe Module)

To decrease potential start-up delays, delivery inaccuracies,
and delayed generation of occlusion alarms, each time a new
syringe is loaded:
• Use smallest syringe size possible (for example, if infusing
2.3 mL of fluid, use a 3 mL syringe).
• Use compatible components which have the smallest
internal volume or "deadspace." For example:
◦ Tubing internal diameter: Smallbore or microbore tubing
is recommended when infusing at low rates
◦ Tubing length: Tubing length should be minimized, when
possible
◦ Filters: Internal volume (deadspace) of in-line filters
should be minimized
◦ Connection sites: The number of connection sites such
as stopcocks and y-sites should be limited, and high risk
or life-sustaining solutions should be connected as close
to the vascular access site as possible
