When providing patient care involving high risk medications and/or critical illness, users should consider utilizing an alternate pump, if available and appropriate for the patient's treatment. 2.

If a blank Run screen is displayed during an infusion on the Novum IQ Syringe Pump, the user should unload, then reload the syringe.
