TABLE 4.

Feedback (Optional) on Syringe Brake

Characteristics Comments
Fitting Loose-fitting on the syringe plunger (n = 3)
May be difficult to fit (n = 1)
Numbering Numbering on tabs to be clearer, e.g., color differentiation (n = 4)
Numbering can be confusing (n = 1)
Material Use material that is easier to break (n = 1)
Tabs easily broke if a strong force is exerted on the plunger head (n = 2)
Knowledge Need to know how to dilute the drug when using Syringe Brake (n = 2)
More of familiarization since not all nurses handle morphine (n = 1)
Workflow The person who administers should dilute the drug and apply device (n = 2)
Bit of a hassle but overall improves safety (n = 1)
Delays administration of opioids (n = 1)
Others Acceptable device (n = 1)
Cost concern (n = 1)
Well done (n = 1)
