What is the minimum height h in order for infusion to work


Collapsible plastic bags are used in hospitals for infusions. We want to use such a bag to infuse an electrolyte solution into the artery of a patient. For this, we mount the bag at a height h above the arm of a patient, as shown in the figure below. Assuming that the average gauge pressure in the artery is 13.3 kPa and the density of the electrolyte solution is 1030 kg/m3, what is the minimum height h in order for the infusion to work?
