ARLINGTON, Va. – The National Home Infusion Association has issued guidance for members that are experiencing shortages of administration sets for ambulatory infusion pumps due to an ongoing supply chain crisis. The association is working with manufacturers and suppliers to get more information about when these issues might be resolved and if they can offer alternatives. In the meantime, NHIA reminds providers that the decision to use an infusion pump—and which pump to use—is a clinical one. To assist in assessing patient needs and considering alternatives, NHIA has developed a few recommendations for managing current shortages, including considerations for selecting an appropriate infusion device.
