FIGURE 1. Piggyback configuration. A modern infusion device (front plate covered) and infusion tubing. The piggyback bag hangs above the primary bag, and the tubing “piggybacks” into the primary tubing upstream of the infusion device. FIGURE 2. Various configurations of piggyback and primary infusions, using no infusion device, a single channel of a device, or both channels of a 2-channel device. All configurations are plausible. Each has the capacity to alter the way the fluids are delivered independent of the programming of the device. TABLE 1. Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience Reports From 2003 to 2004 Where Speculation About Problems With Tubing Setup Is Mentioned the pump before switching back from the piggyback to the maintenance mode. a real hazard to safe infusion practice; they are particularly important in the case of piggybacks.
