Gravity flow does not work with PICC lines at all.  Law of physics length and 
time

Subject: PICC infusions



Are all of you mandating that PICC lines have electronic infusion devices (EID) 
used with infusions?  We currently use a gravity flow blood tubing - our policy 
states that all central line administrations must be done on a EID.  Also, our 
Albumin tubing  coming from the blood bank isn't pump tubing..... 

How is everyone else doing this?....I know that there is tubing out there to 
accommodate EID with blood transfusions...how about Albumin?
