In order to survey the contamination of particulate matters in commercial large volume parenteral solutions, we purchased 550 samples randomly • from hospitals and drugstores in Taiwan area from Sep., 1985. to Jan., 1986. All samples were analyzed by the electrical resistance method described in the B. P. 1980 using a particle size analyzer (Coulter counter ®). The results showed that a total of 88 cases (i. e ., 16.0% ) , including 74 domestic and 14 imported products, did not meet the requirements of 'Limit Test for Particulate Matters' in B. P. 1980 . Among the domestic disqualified samples, the contaminations of particulate matters for both sodium chloride and Ringer's solutions were more serious than that of the glucose-containing solutions (pure glucose, electrolyte-glucose and glucurolactone-glucose were all included) . About 43. 5% of imported amino acid solutions can't meet the requirements specified in the B. P. 1980. |
