Per USP, drug products containing a 100mL or less (single or multiple doses) either in solution or in solution constituted from sterile solids.
Small volume parenteral products are packaged into containers smaller or equal to the volume of 100mL. They are packaged in vials, ampoules, prefilled syringes, and read-to-mix systems. It si common for small volume parenteral products to be injected via the intravascular, intramuscular, or subcutaneous route. These parenteral products must be sterile and free of pyrogen and particles.
Total parenteral nutrition uses a larger bag.
Large volume parenteral products are packed in containers larger than 100mL. Large volume parenteral products are made of sterile aqueous solutions/emulsions in water. They are particles and pyrogen-free. Some common types of large volume parenteral products include TPN solutions, antibiotics, and infusion fluids.

Sodium chloride solution, dextrose solution, ringer's solution and lactated ringer's solution are all common large volume parenteral products.
Small parenteral volumes typically refer to volumes less than 100 mL, while large parenteral volumes refer to volumes greater than 100 mL. Small volumes are often used for medications that require precise dosing, while large volumes are typically used for hydration or nutrient replacement.
The drip chamber should be below the infusion bag.
