• A syringe can be used as the container for the IV fluid to be
infused. Syringe sizes from 20cc to 60cc of such as the B-D
and Monoject brands can be used.
Connect the container to the IV set.

accordance with the Administration Set Directions for Use.

clamp and establish fluid flow to fully prime the set. Gently tap
the cassette and ‘Y’ sites as necessary to remove all air. Gently
massage the pressure dome to ensure no air bubbles are
trapped.
