01/02/18 BG -- Look Alike ADD-Vantage bags

Subject: Look Alike ADD-Vantage bags!!!!!
Importance: High

We will begin loading 50 mL ADD-Vantage bags at Main and HHWC in the next day or two (to be used with the ROCEPHIN 2 gm ADD-Vantage vials). Please note the similarity with the 100 mL ADD-Vantage vials....they are the same size bag with less fluid fill!!!

The 50 mL bag will receive a Pharmacy-applied expiration date of 1-month when removed from the overwrap.
The 100 mL bag will receive a Pharmacy-applied expiration date of 2-months when removed from the overwrap.

Be very careful with dispensing/checking/refilling/loading 100 mL and 50 mL ADD-Vantage bags to assure that each unit is correct!
