01BACKGROUND

Start with a Sterile Workspace

Use only sterile supplies, wash your hands, and work on a clean surface before you open anything.

Follow the product or pharmacy instructions for the correct diluent, volume, and storage steps. If any part of the instructions is missing or unclear, stop and confirm it before you proceed.

02DEEP DIVE

Highest-impact failure points

The biggest problems are usually avoidable: contaminated hands or surfaces, reusing needles or syringes, misreading the label, or mixing with the wrong diluent.

When you access a vial, clean the stopper with alcohol and let it dry before puncturing it. Do not assume a product is still usable if the packaging is damaged or the solution looks cloudy or has particles.

03MECHANICS

Mistake-Prevention Checklist

1
Confirm the diluent, volume, and beyond-use date from the label or pharmacy instructions.
2
Use a new sterile syringe and needle for each step of the process.
3
Clean the vial stopper and let it dry before puncturing it.
4
Do not touch the sterile end of the needle or the inside of the cap.
5
If the product is cloudy, discolored, or contains particles, stop and verify it before use.
6
Record the lot number, date, and storage instructions in Shotlee so you can trace the vial later.

When to Stop and Re-check

Stop and re-check if the instructions conflict with the packaging, if the dose math does not match the vial strength, or if the storage instructions are unclear.

If you are unsure whether the vial or syringe remained sterile, do not improvise. Replace the supplies and verify the instructions again before continuing.
