What is included on the auxiliary label for batch produced CSPs?

The auxiliary label for batch produced compounded sterile preparations (CSPs) typically includes device specific instructions. This is essential because batch produced CSPs may be used with specific delivery systems or administration devices that require particular handling or usage methods. Providing these instructions on the auxiliary label ensures that healthcare professionals or caregivers are informed about how to properly use the product with the designated equipment, thereby promoting patient safety and effective medication administration.

Device specific instructions may include relevant details about infusion rates, specific equipment compatibility, or any special considerations needed during administration. This level of detail aids in minimizing errors and optimizing the therapeutic effects of the medication.

In contrast, while instructions for disposal, patient-specific dosage information, and warnings against certain allergies are also vital for overall medication management, they do not specifically pertain to the characteristics of batch produced CSPs in the same operational context as device specific instructions do.
