Near End of Infusion Alarms on Alaris Syringe Pumps

For hospitals that use the Alaris syringe pump module: Do you keep the near end of infusion alarm on? Is it only on for certain libraries? If so, which one?

Our nurses are complaining about it and want it turned off but others feel it is necessary for the life-sustaining continuous infusions.

Thanks,

Randi
