Tacrolimus continuous infusion / USP 800

Hello Colleagues,
We are experiencing challenges with continuous infusion tacrolimus, and are curious around your practices with dispensing and priming for administration.

A few questions.
-What type of line do you dispense it on from Pharmacy? (e.g. short set, primary, etc)
-Do you prime the line with drug, compatible diluent, or "other"?
-If priming with compatible diluent or "other", how does nurse prime?
-If you have peds, does your process distinguish from adults and if so, how?

Happy Friday!
