Bottled Isoflurane is a volatile inhalation anesthetic commonly used in anesthesia, which is widely used in general anesthesia, especially in surgery. It is used to cause and maintain the anesthesia state of patients by evaporating into gas and inhaling. ไอโซฟลูเรน is a common anesthetic, which is widely used in adult and children's surgery.
Packaging and Marking of Bottled Isoflurane
Appearance of bottle: Bottled isoflurane is generally a glass vial. Bottles are usually strong to ensure that they will not break easily during storage and transportation. There will be a clear label on the bottle body, indicating the name of the drug "isoflurane", and also indicating the specifications of the drug, such as the capacity of each bottle, which are commonly 100ml and 250ml.
Component identification: the label will clearly list that its main component is isoflurane, and may indicate its chemical structure related information, such as chemical molecular formula (the chemical name of isoflurane is 2chloro2 (difluoromethoxy) 1,1,1 trifluoroethane). At the same time, quality-related information such as purity will also be marked to ensure that users understand the quality standards of drugs.
Warning label: As isoflurane is an anesthetic, the bottle will have obvious warning label. For example, the words "narcotic drugs are strictly managed" will be marked to remind users to use and store them in accordance with relevant regulations to avoid non-medical use. There may also be signs about the dangers of drugs, such as flammability, because isoflurane is a volatile liquid and has certain flammability.
Storage Conditions of Bottled Isoflurane
Temperature requirements: bottled isoflurane should be stored in a cool place, and the ideal storage temperature is generally between 2 30℃. If the temperature is too high, it will lead to the volatilization of aerrane isoflurane, which may not only cause the waste of drugs, but also increase the pressure in the bottle and have the risk of explosion; However, if the temperature is too low, it may affect its physical and chemical properties, lead to the precipitation of the effective components of the drug, and affect the quality and anesthetic effect of the drug.
Lighting requirements: need to avoid direct sunlight. Because light may trigger the chemical reaction of isoflurane, making it decompose or deteriorate. Therefore, it is generally recommended to store bottled isoflurane in a dark place, such as the inner layer of a medicine storage cabinet or wrap it with shading materials.
Placement: The bottle should be placed upright. This is to prevent isoflurane from leaking, because if the bottle falls down, it may cause the bottle cap to loosen or the bottle stopper to seal loosely, thus causing isoflurane to leak. At the same time, standing upright is also conducive to keeping the drug label clear and readable, which is convenient for medical staff to check the drug information.
