Explanatory Notes
Stability data assumes products prepared using standard aseptic technique in biological safety cabinet at low risk for contamination according to the classification
30,125
outlined in USP 797.
Vial stability: Stability of solution after first puncture or reconstituted solution.
Storage temperature: If information states same stability with refrigerator and room temperature storage, then fridge stability is bolded as preferred (ie, to minimize
growth of micro-organisms).
Discard unused portion: Unused portion from single use vials should be discarded at the end of the day.
overfill known is stated if the manufacturer states overfill that is present is within acceptable limits.
Complete administration within __ is stated if the manufacturer specifies that the infusion must be completed in a specific time frame following preparation,
usually including entire time required for preparation (from first puncture), storage, and administration of infusion.

Abbreviations
BWI = bacteriostatic water for injection
CIVI: ambulatory pump = Continuous Intravenous Infusion (e.g., elastomeric infusor)
D5W = dextrose 5% in water
F = refrigerate
Non-DEHP = not containing Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)
NS = normal saline
PFL = protect from light
RT = room temperature
SWI = sterile water for injection
