Pre-mixed 7% saline

Saline doesn't need to be refrigerated if it's in sterile packaging. It's only sterile (IMO) if it comes from the manufacturer. You have to wonder what environment this saline is being mixed and repackaged in. Personally, until the manufacturer offers 7% I won't be getting it from any 3rd party re-mixer.

Please someone correct me but am not correct to wonder about he cleanliness of the pharmacies that are mixing it?

I have always gotten mine pre-mixed from a local pharmacy where I live. It comes in an I.V. bag that I draw up myself with a 5cc syringe. Its quite convientient and I've never had a contamination issue.

We have always had to mix it ourselves from the 10% and the 3% and it is always a pain to get the 10% from the pharmacy for some reason. They have to go to a separate department to get the 10%. I hope they start giving out the 7% that would be easier, but I dont think we int he military community will see it for quite some time. unfortunately.
