The VIAFLEX plastic container is fabricated from a specially
formulated polyvinyl chloride (PL
146 Plastic) with di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) as a plasticizer.
Exposure to temperatures
above 25˚C during transport and storage will lead to minor losses in
moisture content. Higher
temperatures lead to greater losses. It is unlikely that these minor
losses will lead to clinically
significant changes within the expiration period. The amount of water
that can permeate from
inside the container into the overwrap is insufficient to affect the
solution significantly.
