Repeater Pump Calibration and Volume Variation

Hello,

I'm curious if any institutes which utilize repeater pumps for compounding have any experience or thoughts on the following:

- For repeater pumps with selectable flow rates, what is your institution's preferred setting (e.g., low, medium, high).?
- Have you noticed any variations in volumes when utilizing higher flow rates?
- What is your expected and/or tolerance for variation when utilizing repeater pumps?
- How frequently do you recalibrate your repeater pumps (e.g., daily, after a certain number of pumps, etc.)

Thank you,
T.J.
