I’ve heard could be 6 to 12 months. I hope my Dr receives the oral alternative for Amikacin soon. Yes I have home health nurse that is scheduled for 2 times a week. That pump sounds interesting, I will ask about it.
Thanks & Take care!

I had amikacin iv Three times a week at the infusion center and it took about an hour. I don’t know where you live so may be there is no infusion center nearby. Also I flushed the picc line myself on days off amikacin and the nurse on the day on the med with heparin so not to get blood clots. Dressing was changed and blood for kidney and liver function was drawn once a week at the infusion center.
