5-FU CADD pumps

Hello,

We are interested in learning how other sites prepare 5-FU CADD pump home infusions.

Can you share with me in what volume do you prepare these infusions? Also, which pump you use for your 46 hour home infusion of 5-FU and what is you manufacturers allowed pump variance?

Thank you in advance!
