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) |
