Introduction: The FreedomEdge® Syringe Infusion System is portable and easy to use, requiring no batteries or electricity. It starts to operate when the syringe driver is closed. RMS Precision Flow Rate Tubing™ sets are used to control the ow rate.
For use with subcutaneous immune globulin products, use only RMS ow control devices and HIgH-Flo needle sets, as use of generic products may result in unknown ow rates and additional site complications such as pain, swelling and redness.
END CAP 0.11 The part numbers for the RMS Precision Flow Rate Tubing™ represent the target ow rate values for non-viscous solutions up to F120 (e.g. most antibiotics). For part numbers F180 and higher, and all tubing for viscous solutions, the part numbers represent the median free ow values, which are used in calculations to determine the actual ow rate delivered.
For bench testing of ow accuracy refer to page 10. Note that the negator mechanism which drives the syringe is calibrated for the life of the syringe driver. RMS Precision Flow Rate Tubing™ sets are always measured to ow speci cation during manufacture and will deliver the appropriate ow rate under controlled conditions.
Syringe Loading and Removal Instructions: To load a syringe: syringe locator syringe ange Pull rmly to fully extend the syringe driver. Then, open the syringe driver fully by lifting the top cover. With syringe gradations facing up, push the syringe against the syringe locater. Seat the syringe ange into the syringe locater.

If medication does not drip, replace the tubing as it may be blocked or damaged. If medication does drip from the RMS Precision Flow Rate Tubing™, then it is most likely a problem with the indwelling needle, catheter, or any fluid path accessories such as a clave connector or needle-free adapter.
Care and Maintenance: The FreedomEdge® does not require any preventative maintenance. The FreedomEdge® with RMS Precision Flow Rate Tubing™ works as a system, which means the tubing determines the flow rate, not the syringe driver; therefore your driverneeds no calibration. Selecting the appropriate tubing set for the application ensures the proper flow rate will be achieved.
