Selecting the Syringe Type and Size

When you press the CHANNEL SELECT key after loading a syringe and administration set, the system will prompt you to select and confirm the syringe type and size. To do this:

1. Press the soft key next to the installed syringe type and size. ( If you do not see the correct syringe, press the ALL SYRINGES soft key to select from a larger list.)
2. Press the CONFIRM soft key to accept your selection.

Warning: Ensure the displayed syringe manufacturer and size correctly identify the installed syringe. Mismatches may cause an under-infusion or over-infusion to the patient that could result in serious injury and/or death.
