NICU 1ml enfit syringe

Hi,

We've been noticing whenever we make a NICU syringe (any med) using a 1 ml enfit syringe, a lot of times it leads to either a huge air bubble in the syringe or volume loss. It doesn't happen with the 3ml or 5ml syringe though. I was wondering if other institutions experience the same and if they use a different syringe or cap for a 1ml syringe?
