Elastomeric fluorouracil pumps

Hi,

Our outpatient oncology clinic is considering switching over to elastomeric fluorouracil pumps for all infusion durations (range from 48 hours-7days). We currently only stock pumps for 48 hour infusions. We were curious if any other organizations stock more than one size/flow rate and what safety precautions you have in place to keep them from being mixed up.

Thanks,
