Aseptic Technique
Aseptic technique must be used when handling syringes and needles. The needle, the tip and hub, the inside of the barrel, and the plunger must be kept sterile at all times. Contamination of the plunger will contaminate the solution or medication as the plunger goes down the barrel. All syringes should be labelled with the name of the medication. If two or more syringes of the same type but containing different solutions or medications are being used, they must be clearly labelled to prevent confusion. If a needle is broken, it must be accounted for in its entirety. Bending, shearing, breaking or recapping contaminated needles is strictly prohibited.
