Alaris syringe pumps, pediatric carrier fluids, pressure diffs, process?

We recently went live with BD Alaris for syringe pump module only. We maintain a different brand for large vol pumps, which normally would run carrier fluids. Our Nursing leadership received info from BD rep that due to pressure differences, it was recc'ed to use the BD Alaris for carrier fluids - which means a 50mL syringe for carrier fluids. Has anyone else received this same information? In the interim, we are also looking for any reccs for 50mL prefilled NS syringes from a manufacturer or known 503b - Thank you!
