Nurses need a reliable way to prevent medication incompatibility when using the same IV line for multiple drugs, but current practice of discarding dedicated secondary tubing is wasteful and costly.

Existing approach of using dedicated secondary tubing to avoid incompatibility is wasteful and may still not guarantee safety if residual medication adheres to tubing; no easy method exists to safely flush lines between incompatible drugs.
