title: Syringe infusion pumps with dose error reduction systems.
abstract: Syringe pumps are less widely used than general-purpose infusion pumps, but they still provide a significant number of crucial infusions. We believe that, just as with general-purpose pumps, syringe pumps should be purchased only if they incorporate a dose error reduction system.This Evaluation reviews four syringe pumps that have such a system, and our findings focus primarily on how well those systems perform.
