Alaris® Syringe module Features

Priming of the syringe administration set can be accomplished in two ways, manual priming or priming the set with the Alaris® Syringe module. After manually priming the set, it is also recommended that you prime the Alaris® Syringe module to decrease potential startup delays, especially with infusions running at rates less than 1.0 mL/h.

The Prime Set with Syringe option delivers a limited amount of fluid to prime the administration set prior to being connected to a patient. When priming, a single continuous press of the PRIME soft key delivers up to 2 mL of priming fluid. This option is only available after the syringe and infusion type have been selected and prior to beginning the infusion.

With either priming method, prior to priming (if applicable) the pressure sensing disc must be removed from the instrument and should be inverted and gently massaged between two fingers during priming. Always ensure that there is no air in the syringe or syringe set. After fully primed, clamp tubing to prevent inadvertent or uncontrolled flow.
