Hello Med Safety colleagues.

Our institution currently uses norepinephrine 4mg/250ml (16mcg/ml) and 16mg/250mL as our standard and maximum concentrations, respectively.
Unfortunately, due to the number "16" associated with both, we have had multiple pump errors reported.
We do not have pump integration at this time, and we dose norepi in "mcg/min."
