Reported risk: The syringe plunger grippers may fail to automatically close around the syringe plunger press when the gripper control knob has been closed. It is important to note that the syringe plunger gripper can be manually closed by the user. If the user follows the Alaris system user manual and ensures the syringe plunger gripper is closed there is no risk of harm to the patient. If however, the gripper is not closed around the syringe, there is a negligible risk of siphoning.
