Analysis of combination products
A perfect match is required between equipment and drug for combination products that consist of a drug and medical equipment.
The material of the medical equipment must be compatible with the drug that is used to ensure:
- that undesirable chemical substances are not extracted from the medical equipment to the drug.
- that the drug is stable in combination with the medical equipment.
Some examples of combination products are prefilled syringes, infusion bags, inhalers, insulin pens, eye drop dispensers, and other equipment for drug dosing.
The storage time of the drug in the medical equipment can vary from hours to months depending on the type of combination product. Therefore, it is important to consider the contact time between the medical equipment and the drug when testing the compatibility between the material and the drug as well as the stability of the drug that is used.
