ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This study aimed to confirm that the incremental dose/clicks system dispenses accurate doses for the Merck family of fertility pen injectors. RESEARCH DESIGN ANDMETHODS:
Set doses (Vset) for three dose dial settings (minimum dose [Vmin], midpoint dose [Vmid] and maximum dose [Vmax] for the follitropin alfa, choriogonadotropin alfa [D2 classification single use/variable dose], and follitropin alfalutropin-alfa 21 combination pen injectors) or a single Vset for the choriogonadotropin alfa (D1 classification single use/single dose) were assessed. Last dose administered by the multi-dose device was assessed for the 900 IU, 450 IU, 300 IU and 150 IU follitropin alfa, and the 900450 IU, 450225 IU and 300150 IU follitropin alfalutropin-alfa 21 combination pen presentations.RESULTS:
Dose accuracy tests for Vmin, Vmid and Vmax for the follitropin alfa and the follitropin alfalutropin-alfa 21 combination pen injectors, and last dose administered, were within acceptable limits according to ISO 11,608-12012/2014. Dose accuracy tests for the single use/single dose device classification and the single use/variable dose device classification of the choriogonadotropin alfa pen injector were also within the acceptable limits, according to ISO 11608-12000/2014.CONCLUSIONS:
The Merck family of fertility pen injectors functions reliably and the incremental dose/clicks system dispenses accurate doses.Palabras clave
