Baxter 2B2324X VIAFLEX Plastic Feature
Lactated Ringers Solution come in a flexible VIAFLEX plastic bag that is fabricated from a specially formulated polyvinyl chloride (PL 145 Plastic). The amount of water that can permeate from inside the container into the overwrap is insufficient to affect the solution significantly. Solutions in contact with the plastic container can leach out certain of its chemical components in very small amounts within the expiration period, e.g. di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), up to 5 parts per million. However, the safety of the plastic has been confirmed in tests in animals according to USP biological tests for plastic containers as well as by tissue culture toxicity studies.
