WARNINGS
• Before loading the syringe,
check it for damage or defects.
• Ensure syringe barrel, flange, and
plunger are installed and secured
correctly. Failure to install
syringe correctly can result
in uncontrolled fluid flow to the
patient, and may cause serious
injury or death.
• Before loading or unloading the
syringe, always turn off fluid flow
to the patient, using the tubing
clamp or stopcock. Uncontrolled
fluid flow can occur when the
administration set is not clamped
or turned off, and may cause
serious injury or death.
CAUTION
When initially loading the syringe,
allow for the volume of fluid
contained in the administration set
and retained in the syringe at the
end of an infusion, as this "dead
space" will not be infused.
