Handling & Preparation Instructions This purified fatty acid is liquid at room temperature (oil) and not soluble in water. The product is supplied sterile. It can be solubilized in undiluted serum, ethanol or DMSO. The solubility of Docosahexaenoic acid in ethanol is at least 100 mg/ml. Docosahexaenoic acid has a solubility of 1 mg/ml in a solution of 0.15 M Tris-HCL (pH 8.5). We strongly recom...

hospital4-7. However a large study in two Australian teaching hospitals found that interruptions to nurses during medication administration were significantly associated with more medication errors and more severe errors7. Interruptions have been identified as a risk factor for task errors in other industries as well8-12. An example is the aviation industry which implemented the “sterile cockpi...

This value analysis brief presents information on the design features and potential procedural benefits of using the DePuy Synthes Mitek Sports Medicine SPEEDTRAPTM Graft Preparation System, a whipstitch suture delivery device created to simplify soft-tissue graft preparation. The SPEEDTRAP System is designed to apply uniform, consistent whipstitches to the graft faster and easier than traditio...

1 3 0 • H O S P I TA L P H A R M AC I S T Aseptic preparation of medicines in hospital pharmacy units usually comprises the combination of licensed sterile ingredients in a manner that will ensure that the resulting product, in its final container, is sterile. One of the inherent weaknesses of this activity is that aseptically prepared medicinal products cannot be tested for sterility as would ...

Objective: To report the incidence of endophthalmitis after intravitreal drug injection with or without topical antibiotics. Methods: Data from this study were derived from 2 prospective, randomized, clinical trials performed by the Diabetic Retinopathy Clinical Research Network in which patients received intraocular injections of either ranibizumab or triamcinolone. The study protocol required...

Two approaches have been investigated for generating USP sterile, pyrogen-free water for injection (WFI) from potable water in the field. The first approach utilizes reverse osmosis (RO), ion exchange, a solid matrix filter containing activated carbon and zeta adsorbent, a final 0.2 microns pore size sterilizing filter and a device for transferring the WFI to an IV bag; prototype systems based ...

Introduction.?The senior writer, Burke (1943), made an appeal for an efficient successor to neostibosan (Bayer), this, preferably, to be a British product. What seems to be an almost perfect answer to that appeal?and indeed a British product?is the preparation stibatin (Glaxo Laboratories), or sodium antimony gluconate (antimony v-hexonate), a crystal-clear sterile solution containing 20 mg. of...
