Warnings
•
Do not autoclave or re-use syringe as this may increase
risk of leakage or biological infection.
•
Tip caps are a choking hazard. Keep out of reach of children.
Precautions
•
Always attach the syringe to a NeoMed feeding tube or extension
set prior to moving the plunger gasket into the vent zone, as fluid will
flow immediately when the plunger gasket is positioned in the vent zone.
•
Do not invert the syringe when the plunger gasket is within the vent zone.
Feeding Preparation
1. Follow physician’s instructions or hospital protocol in opening package and use of contents. Use aseptic technique.
2. Identify the vent zone on the syringe (See Figure 1)
3. Fully depress the plunger before filling the syringe. Draw liquid (e.g. formula or mother’s milk) into syringe. For
accurate meas-urement, use the black leading edge of the gasket toward the plunger tip. The accuracy of
measurements is ±4% of expelled volume. Do not fill or attempt delivery past the maximum graduation. Do not
position plunger gasket in the vent zone during preparation.
4. To expel excess air bubbles, ensure the plunger is not positioned in the vent zone. Hold syringe with tip pointing
up and tap side of syringe to cause bubbles to rise toward tip. Draw back slightly on plunger taking care to not
draw back into the vent zone. Push plunger upward to eject air in barrel and tip. Repeat until bubbles are eliminated.
5. Place the orange tip cap on the syringe and label as per hospital protocol (label not included).
