Eglin is having discussions on what is the current standard for multi use vials/bottles/etc. USP states that once opened it expires in 28 days, unless otherwise stated by the manufacture.

Is it good practice to have two standards? Can we be sure that staff members know when it is stated by the manufacture? Can we be sure that the vial is still sterile after 100 uses, for example?

If anyone could give guidance I would appreciate it.

Thank you. Capt Nora Monnett
