Dextrose, 10%, 250mL, EXCEL IV Containers Target and Overfill Volume Specifications
United States Pharmacopeia (USP) has certain requirements for the fill volume of a large volume parenteral product stating that each intravenous solution container must be filled with a "volume in slight excess of the labeled size or in that the volume which is to be withdrawn". In hospital settings, most excess solution is expended in the process of flushing and filling the administration set at the beginning of the infusion. For containers of 50mL or greater, the USP recommends excess volume at 2% or 3% if the solution is viscous, which is considered adequate to allow for withdrawal and administration of the labeled volume.
Excel IV container overfill volume includes the 2% overfill recommended by the USP to compensate for the residual volume left in the container after drainage, and addition of a sufficient amount of solution (nearly 2%) to allow for water vapor transmission losses out of the container over the shelf life of the product. The remaining overfill volume, accounted for by the variation in the amount of solution dispensed by the filling equipment, assuring that the product will contain at least the labeled volume and the overfill volumes stated below. B. Braun Excel IV containers are designed to prevent that the losses from the vapor transmission will not affect the claimed solution volumes and concentrations over the shelf life of the product.
