How important is it to exactly follow the Directions for Use that come in each box of PATT and PATT2 kits?
The DFUs are written as suggestions only. They can be modified to more closely mimic the most difficult aseptic manipulations performed by a particular operator or pharmacy. For example, a pharmacy may add a high risk simulation of compounding a sterile injectable from a nonsterile ingredient to the end of the regular PATT test procedure. This could consist of placing a small quantity of a common, nonsterile powder like NaCl in a beaker. The operator adds non-sterile water to create a solution. The solution is drawn into a syringe, a sterile 0.22 micron filter with a sterile needle is attached to the syringe, and the liquid is injected into the TSB in the 100mL bag. The bag is observed for turbidity in the usual manner.
