Maximum vancomycin concentration/rate of infusion

Good morning everyone -

We are looking at some opportunities for operational efficiency for vancomycin preparation. Curious to see what institutional maximum vancomycin concentration and rate of infusions have been established for others. We are mainly looking at some of the information in tertiary sources & PIs that note 5mg/mL concentrations as recommended but reference for up to 10mg/mL with the disclaimer for the potential for increased rate of infusion reactions.

Thanks
