The INS Standards call for assessing ALL characteristics of infusates to determine the most appropriate type of VAD. See the standard on VAD Planning. Examples of some characteristics are given but this is not meant to be the only factors that must be assessed. ALL infusate characteristics should be considered. Lynn
