Reason

While the pump is infusing, a breakage of the plunger backplate spring may allow movement of the syringe plunger that may result in siphonage. Neonatal and paediatric patients, or those receiving critical drugs at low infusion rates, would be considered to be the most at risk if small volumes of fluids reach the patient due to siphoning.
