It remained at room temperature in the pharmacy for just under 24 hours.

Eagle Eye 203 Posted February 17, 2012 I would get written docuemnt from company before using it for the patient unless insert says that it could be stored at RT for upto 24 hrs. If insert doesn't say this and storage requirement is 2-8C, you would need some kind of written info from company. I would also get approval from medical director.

Kimster 20 Posted October 24, 2012 If you contact medical affairs of any of the companies that make an RhIG, they can send a letter which states the room temp for their product. Actually none of the US RhIG's have ever had a 9 months time table. Rhogam and HyperRho are significantly shorter. There is another thread on this subject too.

Mabel Adams 1,064 Posted November 2, 2012 I had a problem years ago with some RhIg being left at RT for awhile and I got the same answer from the manufacturer. I think we added the info to our procedure in case it ever happened again, but it didn't for as long as I was there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
