There is no USP 797 requirement related to filtering after some period of
time, nor is such a requirement rational. It either needs to be filtered or
it does not.

RE: Codes for PICC in DR. OFFICEHi Shirley,
Your hospital may be getting it's information from the 797 guidelines. We
are a home infusion pharmacy that follows the 797 guidelines and we do not
need to filter our final products, unless it is TPN or the drug dictates
that it be filtered. We are not required to filter our antibiotics, because
our clean room meets the 797 guidelines, and we only dispense one week of
product at a time. Mostly, we are dictated by a drug's stability in
solution.

I am not aware of any evidence stating that drugs for XX amount fo days
requires filtration. There are some meds that must be filtered for all doses
and your pharmacy should know which ones these are. Lynn

Can anyone tell me requirements for filtering IV antibiotics

but I can't find evidence of why.
Thanks, Shirley

Would anyone have codes for a PICC that is placed in a Dr.'s office?
Equipment, nursing time and all. I would appreciate the help. RaKay
