Loading And Confirming A Syringe - BD Alaris 8002TIG03 Directions For Use Manual

Loading and Confirming a Syringe

Warning: To securely load and confirm a syringe carefully follow the steps below. An incorrect loading of a syringe
w
may result in misidentification of the syringe type and size. If then confirmed, this may lead to significant inaccuracy
of the infusion rate and may also affect Pump performance.
Only use a syringe of the type stated on the Pump or in this manual. Using an incorrect syringe could adversely affect
the accuracy of the infusion rate and may also affect Pump performance.
When drawing fluid into the syringe, draw enough to compensate for any dead space volume in the extension set and
syringe at the end of infusion as this cannot be fully infused.
