28 days. Oh no, I must be in trouble…. Don’t think that is the standard most folks follow.
How is it “stored properly”’?
Where do you store it after the first use and how do u know is still good to keep on using
I understand at hospitals they are kept at room temperatures.
You don't have to refrigerate it. I keep mine in a box in a cabinet, at room temperature, and out of sunlight.
In a drawer not of the fridge.
Same. I keep mine in a cabinet in the garage with a bunch of my other supplies.
That's a good idea.
It's kind of like that do you use the ketchup/condiments by the expiration date or do you toss it?
Hospira 3ml vials-Top dresser drawer and use it till it's gone which is less than three months...generally. Just what I do-not medical advice. Like others have said, if it "looks Ok to me"...I use it.
Where did you find this out? The labeling document on pfizer.com makes no mention of this. I have heard of 28 days for reconstituted peptides but never BAC water. Hospira prints an expiration date on the bottle that far exceeds 28 days and makes no mention of 28 days after opening.
It's a regulated compound. The manufacturer spent the money to study the specific use case where it was kept at room temperature and continually used for a period of 28 days and found that it still retained its bacteriostatic properties. Since that is what was studied that is the only guidance they can legally provide without claiming more than what their study demonstrated.
