0.1 - 500000 mg/kg/hr
0.1 - 16666 mg/min
0.01 - 166666 mcg/kg/min
0.01 - 9999999 mcg/kg/hr
0.01 - 166666 mcg/min
0.1 - 1000 mL/hr
CAUTION: When infusing short-half-life drugs (i.e. those dosed with units of
mcg/kg/min) at very low rates (0.8 mL/hr or less) the rate may be too slow
for that drug. Consider using a lower drug concentration with these
drugs so a pump rate above 0.8 mL/hr can be used.
