Alaris syringe pump without ALL mode

Hello, if you use Alaris syringe pump with ALL mode Disabled in NICU or PICU/Peds, do you have a policy/practice guideline for how nursing-pharmacy manage volume variances in syringes? For example, if gentamicin intermittent dose is 6mL and Alaris syringe pump reads VTBI as 5.95mL, how does nurse proceed/not proceed? we know there is always variation and were wondering how others have handled. Thank you in advance for any help! Jenny
