RE: Fluid issues- infinity pump

[Guest guest]

--We use the local Mom-and-Pop infusion company, Baystate home

infusion in Springfield, MA. gets everything from them, from

TPN and IV meds to G and J tube supplies to oxygen to suction to

monitors. She's probably bought them a truck by now. ;-)

was one of maybe a dozen kids in New England to try them out

when they first came out last year. It's a great pump. You can

rinse the whole thing under the faucet if it gets sticky. We were

able to get it because gets feeds at ridiculously low rates

and it enabled us to advance her by 1/10 of a cc at a time, and set

the total volume for things like 7.5cc if we needed to. I really

like the pump. It's even ligher than the entralite too. But I don't

know how you could make a case for it over the entralite without

having such specific needs.

Thanks for the details. Yes, I doubt we'd be able to make a case for

infinity, though it sounds like the name is not pure hype, for once.

Infinite settings! 7.5cc!
