PCA Syringe Sizes and the Correlating 35% of the Syringe Capacity
NOTE:
BD® 50 mL Syringe model 309653 (formerly BD® 60 mL Syringe model 309653) markings no longer
extend beyond 50 mL, but the syringe dimensions remain the same and continue to be compatible with
both the Alaris™ syringe and Alaris™ PCA modules. Clinicians will continue to choose BD Plastipak
50/60 mL on the Alaris™ PC unit display. The PCA volume check for the BD® 50 mL Syringe is based
on a 60 mL capacity, therefore a 21 mL threshold applies.
