Can anyone tell me if they have a policy or protocol regarding the use of volumetric infusion devices for overnight sub-cut delivery of fluids for hypoderoclysis?

Hi Sylvia and welcome to the forum.

All the policies I have seen for hypodermoclysis infusions are gravity feed only and also state that infusion devices are not to be used for this procedure, for all the obvious reasons I would think.

Some useful info on infusions at this link...

You need to ask why they want to deliver the infusion in this way.
