The plastic container is made from a multilayered film specifically developed for parenteral drugs. It contains no plasticizers and exhibits virtually no leachables. The solution contact layer is a rubberized copolymer of ethylene and propylene. The container is nontoxic and biologically inert. The container-solution unit is a closed system and is not dependent upon entry of external air during administration. The container is overwrapped to provide protection from the physical environment and to provide an additional moisture barrier when necessary. Addition of medication should be accomplished using complete aseptic technique. The closure system has two ports; the one for the administration set has a tamper evident plastic protector and the other is a medication addition site. Refer to the Directions for Use of the container. Chemical Structure

Dextrose and Sodium Chloride Injection, USP is a sterile, nonpyrogenic solution for fluid and electrolyte replenishment and caloric supply in single-dose containers for intravenous administration. It contains no antimicrobial agents. Composition, osmolarity, pH, ionic concentration and caloric content are shown in Table 1 . Table 1. Size (mL) Composition (g/L) Normal physiologic osmolarity range is approximately 280 to 310 mOsmol/L. Osmolarity (mOsmol/L) (calc.) pH Ionic Concentration (mEq/L) Caloric Content (kcal/L) **Dextrose Hydrous, USP Sodium Chloride, USP (NaCl) Sodium Chloride 2.5% Dextrose and 0.45% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP 1000 25 4.5 280 4.5 (3.2 to 6.5) 77 77 85 5% Dextrose and 0.2% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP 250 1000 50 2 321 4.0 (3.2 to 6.5) 34 34 170 5% Dextrose and 0.33% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP 250 1000 50 3.3 365 4.0 (3.2 to 6.5) 56 56 170 5% Dextrose and 0.45% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP 500 1000 50 4.5 406 4.0 (3.2 to 6.5) 77 77 170 5% Dextrose and 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP 500 1000 50 9 560 4.0 (3.2 to 6.5) 154 154 170 Dextrose is derived from corn. The VIAFLEX Plus plastic container is fabricated from a specially formulated polyvinyl chloride (PL 146 Plastic). The amount of water that can permeate from inside the container into the overwrap is insufficient to affect the solution significantly. Solutions in contact with the plastic container can leach out certain of its chemical components in very small amounts within the expiration period, e.g., di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), up to 5 parts per million. However, the safety of the plastic has been confirmed in tests in animals according to USP biological tests for plastic containers as well as by tissue culture toxicity studies.
