They also have IVIG premixed in bottles that are ready when you get there. I am a diabetic so I can't take the ones that have glucose in them. The brand I use (and I wish I could remember the name) has no glucose and is premixed in bottles. I have had it running at 225/hr max and I know there are some who do it faster than that (and a lot that do it slower!)

Good luck.
I cant remember the name of mine either but i max out at 400 ml/hr now with the new stuff
