Hello everyone. I am interested to know if I am missing a regulation related specifically to multi dose topical containers used on multiple patients. I am very familiar with the regulations/CDC guidance on multi dose vials, but I am struggling to find anything concrete regarding creams, ointments, etc. The specific scenario I am dealing with is Biofreeze in Physical Therapy (both inpatient and outpatient). I am confident that best practice is to keep the container in a central location, and squeeze some into a small container (labeled of course) for administration to the patient. But, is this a requirement? Any feedback appreciated.
