Quit spamming and answer the Question...HOW and WHEN does Valimed determine that the IV bag is sterile??

Can a Pharmacy be in total compliance with USP 797 if they do NOT have a Valimed?? If they never EVEN HEARD of VAlimed??

"ValiMed features patent-pending technology that validates in seconds the strength of compounded doses of high risk medications prior to dispensing"

Not "the strength ansd sterility".

CDEx and Baxa have never claimed that Valimed tests for sterility Crow, only the strength of a given compound.

"ValiMed features patent-pending technology that validates in seconds the strength of compounded doses of high risk medications prior to dispensing. Verification of compounding accuracy and sterilization is a requirement under USP 27-NF 22 Chapter 797, which regulates the compounding of sterile products. The ValiMed System can play a key role in demonstrating the safety of compounded sterile products (CSPs) under these requirements."

Q: How can The Valimed System play a key role in demonstrating the safety of compounded sterile products (CSP) under these requirements?

A: Refer to the first sentence (topic sentence) in the paragraph.

There would be less room for misinterpretaion if the first sentence read:

"Valimed features patent-pending technology that validates in seconds the strength of compounded doses of sterile, high risk medications prior to dispensing.

But it was not meant to be, so it is assumed that Valimed is testing sterile product otherwise it is all for naught.
