Sterility testing using a closed system transfer device in oncology medication compounding: a novel method for testing partially used vials

ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that under our local compounding procedure using CSTD we were able to maintain vial sterility when stored under typical conditions and accessed several times for up to 14 days. This method may be considered to assess a facility ’s local compounding procedures and provide valuable information regarding storage and utilization of partial vials, which may result in reduced waste and cost avoidance for the health care system.
