I beg to differ. I have given IV meds via gravity to several pts with PICC's
Gravity flow does not work with PICC lines at all. Law of physics

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?
