1. Connect syringe to catheter extension line according to your local protocol.
2. Install syringe in its cradle, the flanges correctly placed in the provided slot.

IMPORTANT WARNING:
Never press manually on the anti-siphon arm if it can’t come down freely, because there
is a major risk to damage the syringe drive mechanism. If this damage occurs, the
syringe pump could not detect anymore that the plunger is not correctly hold in, and
the syringe could get empty out with gravity.
If you have any doubt on the integrity of a DPS syringe pump mechanism, please,
DON’T USE THE MODULE AND ASK YOUR TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT TO CHECK IT.
