Venous line blood gas syringes

Hi all,
What syringe are you using for VBG lines?  Because we are a pediatric facility they prefer to use 1cc syringes and all the ones I have been finding (that are actually available) are arterial only.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance :)

HI
Our institution uses dry lithium heparin syringes for use on the NOVA Prime Plus for ABG & VBG collections.  Instrumentation drives the specimen type.  
We use the syringes for either arterial or venous collection as long as the correct volume is collected.

Any other thoughts out there??? I would be very interested, too.
