the Alaris Editor.
Secure the extension set using the extension set hook at the rear of the Pump. This provides protection against
accidental dislodging of the syringe from the Pump.
Ensure that both plunger grippers are fully locked onto the plunger flange and the upper finger grip has returned to
its original position.
Note:
Fast Start is a Pump feature to automatically reduce the mechanical slack between the plunger mechanism and syringe at the
start of an infusion, as required .
