I back flush my piggybacks instead of priming them with whatever is the piggyback. For me to back flush with our tubing and pumps, I plug my piggyback into the port before the pump with my piggyback tubing clamped. I hold my piggyback below my maintenance fluids, then unclamp them. When they are unclamped, fluids from the maintenance fluids will go into the piggyback tubing priming that line. I do it this way so that I do not lose any of those precious antibiotics, or whatever the piggyback is, by priming the traditional way. I hope this is a halfway clear explanation for you.
