This document references US Pharmacopeia (USP 2008), A General Chapter <797> Pharmaceutical Compounding â Sterile Preparations, which addresses time limits for spiking IV bags. In short, the USP <797> recommendations call for IV bags to be spiked no more than one hour of administration. If the IV is not used within an hour of spiking the back, the IV and tubing should be discarded. However, an APIC position paper identifies this as controversial and unresolved issue.
