Storage, Handling & Supply Specifications

Proper storage and handling of IV solutions is critical to maintaining product integrity, sterility, and patient safety. This module covers the Bridge-recommended protocols for receiving, storing, and inventorying Fleboflex IV solutions.

Storage Conditions: Store at 20-25 degrees C (68-77 degrees F) per USP Controlled Room Temperature. Excursions between 15-30 degrees C (59-86 degrees F) are permitted. Brief exposure up to 40 degrees C (104 degrees F) does not adversely affect the product. Always store units in their moisture barrier overwrap until ready for use.

Product Identification: Each container is labeled with the National Drug Code (NDC), lot number, and expiration date. Available NDCs for Fleboflex bags: 50 mL (76297-001-11), 100 mL (76297-001-21), 250 mL (76297-001-31), 500 mL (76297-001-01), 1000 mL (76297-001-41). Fleboflex Luer variants have separate NDCs in the 76297-001-5x through 9x range.

Inventory Management: Bridge recommends FIFO (First In, First Out) rotation for all IV solution inventory. Conduct monthly expiration date audits. Do not use any container past its labeled expiration date. After opening the overwrap, the contents should be used immediately and not stored for subsequent infusion.

Receiving and Inspection: Upon delivery, inspect all cases for visible damage, temperature exposure indicators (if present), and proper labeling. Reject and quarantine any cases showing signs of freezing, excessive heat exposure, or physical damage. Document all received inventory including lot numbers for traceability.
