Handling of products for parenteral administration • Integrity of formulation must be preserved throughout the process • Preparation must be protected from microbial contamination • Processing may include: • Dilution to adjust radioactive concentration • Fractionation of bulk solution • Dispensing into vials • Final operation (non sterile) • Labelling • Packaging (shielded & shipping containers )
Final product dispensing Class “C” Class “A”
