Manifold with syringe pump - pediatrics

Good morning -
I am looking for input from facilities currently using a low-pressure manifold with a syringe pump (ideally Alaris). We are aware of the FDA alert specifically advising against use of high-pressure manifolds with Alaris, but the ICU Medical manifold appears not to apply in this case. We are evaluating using the ICU Medical manifold with the Alaris syringe module and would love feedback from sites that currently use this setup with success. Have you had any issues with cracking or inadvertent bolusing?
