Electronically prime the syringe pump system before starting an infusion or after replacing a
near empty syringe with a replacement syringe. Using the syringe pump's prime feature
engages the mechanical components of the pump and decreases the syringe's friction and
compliance to minimize startup delays and delivery inaccuracies, especially at low infusion
rates. Failure to use the prime feature on the syringe pump after every syringe change and/or
tubing change can significantly delay the infusion delivery startup time and lead to delivery
inaccuracies.
