Syringe Pump low rate

Hello All,

This is the first time sharing a question here. May I know from your experience what is the need to use the flow rate 0.01ml/hr in Syringe Pump? And if Syringe pump starting rate from 0.1 and has increment 0.01 then will affect on the patient?

Appreciate your comments.

Thanks,

Rami

Very low flow rates would be

Very low flow rates would be used for IV medications in neonatal patients. Incremental settings are specific to each brand of syringe pump so check the specifications for the one you are using.
