Drug administration

[LizC]

I have a question about administering IV drugs through the system. It is recommended that only distilled water be used in the IV system. That being said, should i replace the drugs in our bristojets with distilled water or is that small ammount ok to use?
Thanks for any help.

It is recommended that only sterile water or distilled water be infused through the system, therefore, METI does recommend replacing all IV bags, bristojets, vials, etc., with distilled or sterile water prior to infusing into any of the METI simulators.
