Expired Drugs
According to the USDA (policy
# 3):
|
All expired
medical materials in animal research laboratories must either be disposed
of or segregated in an appropriately labeled, physically separate location
from non-expired medical materials.
For acute terminal
procedures, the USDA does not oppose the use of expired medical materials
if their use does not adversely affect the animal's well-being or
compromise the validity of the scientific study.
Proper anesthesia,
analgesia, and euthanasia are required for all such procedures. Drugs
administered to relieve pain or distress and emergency drugs must not be
used beyond their expiration date.
|
What this means is:
|
All
drugs and medical materials (like saline bags and suture materials) must be
disposed of after the expiration date.
|
|
Example: If the item is stamped "3/00", then it can be
used only through March 31, 2000. It is outdated as of April 1, 2000.
Dispose of expired materials; return outdated drugs to DCM pharmacy.
|
|
With the exception of
emergency, anesthetic, analgesic or euthanasia drugs, expired materials may
be used only on terminal surgeries provided that:
- Materials are marked as
"expired - use only in terminal surgeries".
- Materials are stored in a
different location (cabinet, drawer) than materials used for survival
surgeries.
