Abstract

A syringe-needle attachment unit was evaluated in a test designed to show whether or not it would be possible to attach needles to filled syringes with that unit and maintain sterility of the medication. Of 460 syringes filled and closed in a horizontal laminar flow unit, none was contaminated. Based on the moderate sample, it can be concluded that the unit will indeed permit closure of syringes without introduction of contamination.
