Preparing Infusion
Selecting Syringe Type and Size
At the start of an infusion program, the system prompts the user to select and confirm the syringe type and
size. The system automatically detects the syringe size, and lists syringe types and sizes that most closely
match the installed syringe. If the syringe is not recognized,
Syringe not recognized is displayed.
1. Press the
CHANNEL SELECT key. Key must be in the PROGRAM position.
Ensure that the displayed syringe manufacturer and size correctly identifies the installed
syringe. Mismatches can cause an under- infusion or over-infusion to the patient that could
result in serious injury and/or death. For a list of compatible syringes, see General Information
on page 241, Compatible Syringes on page 244. For a listing of administration sets, refer to the
