Each Onco-Tain Vial is labeled, sealed, and reinforced with a PVC bottom. The vials then pass through sleeve shrinking equipment (SSE), which shrink-wraps the sleeve over the vial.
The Onco-Tain Vial addresses three target areas:
-
Shatter resistance — the PVC bottom helps provide more protection
-
Surface protection — the sleeve acts as a barrier between any cytotoxic residue that may remain on the surface of the vial and persons handling the products
-
Clarity of glass — helps provide easy inspection of the vial
All cytotoxic injectables manufactured by Hospira are packaged in an Onco-Tain Vial.
