Loading and Confirming a Syringe
Warning: To securely load and confirm a syringe carefully follow the steps below. Loading a syringe incorrectly may
w
result in misidentification of the syringe. If incorrectly confirmed, this may lead to significant inaccuracy of the
delivery rate and may also affect Alaris Enteral Syringe Pump performance.
Only use a syringe of the brand/model stated on the Alaris Enteral Syringe Pump display or in this manual. Using
a non recognised enteral syringe type could adversely affect the accuracy of the delivery rate and may also affect
Alaris Enteral Syringe Pump performance.
When drawing fluid into the syringe, draw enough to compensate for any 'dead space' volume in the feeding tube
and syringe at the end of delivery as this cannot be fully administered.
