摘要
In hospitals, often drug products in intravenous (IV) bags are transported via pneumatic tube systems (PTS). The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of such transportation of protein products on particle formation in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyolefin (PO) IV bags, containing either IV saline or dextrose. We studied intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and a monoclonal antibody (mAb). Particles were quantified with flow imaging, light obscuration and nanoparticle tracking analysis. PTS transportation of IVIG caused large increases in protein particle concentrations, with much greater increases observed in saline than in dextrose. The increases were greater in IV solutions in PO than those in PVC bags. With the mAb, PTS transportation in saline caused increases in protein particle levels in PO bags, but not in PVC bags. Transportation in dextrose did not result in significant increases in mAb particle concentrations in IV bags made of either material. Overall, the results document that the PTS transportation can result in large increases in protein particles and that magnitude of these increases depends the protein itself, the bag material and the IV solution. The main conclusion is that protein products in IV solutions should not be transported in hospital PTS.
