Loading a Syringe
Place the pump on a stable horizontal surface or secure using the pole clamp fitted.
Prepare, load and prime the single use disposable syringe and extension line using standard
aseptic techniques.
1. Squeeze the finger grips on the plunger
holder and slide the mechanism to the left.
Lift the syringe clamp and rotate to the left.
2. Insert the syringe into the slots on the
plunger holder.
3. Squeeze the finger grips on the plunger
holder and slide the mechanism to the right
until the syringe finger flanges locates in
the V slot.
4. Release the finger grips. Apply gentle
pressure on the plunger holder to ensure
that the drive is engaged. Rotate the
syringe clamp forward until it locks onto the
syringe barrel.
5. Check that the syringe plunger and finger
flanges are correctly located in their slots.
Important:
Advance the syringe until the finger
flanges touch the front of the V slot
closest to the syringe clamp. This is
important to prevent delay at the
start of the infusion.
Important:
Only use a syringe of the type stated on the pump labelling.
Important:
Only use a syringe of the type and size indicated on the pump or in this manual.
Using an incorrect syringe could adversely affect the accuracy of the infusion and
the performance of the pump.
When initially loading the syringe, allow for the volume of fluid contained in the
extension line and retained in the syringe at the end of infusion as this “dead-
space” will not be infused.
