Icon Request: IV

[fokked]

I'm working with a pharmacist to display dosages in a chart. They want to communicate the route of administration.

You could modify the blood type bags and repurpose them for IV.

Thanks, Kristen

Can you explain how you'd design this? Is it just a blood bag without letters, so it's a generic liquid? Or do you need to see the needle at the end? A few examples below.

Maybe it's just as a non-medical professional who watches too much TV, but I associate the mounting rack/structure with IV, like the one in the existing hospital-bed icon:

For our context, and I think it makes sense for the icon, we need just an "IV bag". It's to differentiate between the different way drugs are administered: pill, needle, IV. So the blood bag without letters is good. Only other suggestion would be to maybe add horizontal measurement markers like in the example above.

For Steven's "bed" example, that could be "IV and Hospital Bed" or something - but a different icon nonetheless. Let's ignore that until someone requests it.

How is this @fokked @nburka ? Too much detail?

We ended up with something closer to the blood bag.

@dburka Looks awesome. Should I close the issue?
