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.
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.
Cytotoxic parenteral products have to be packaged in sealed, leak-proof containers that should not break during transition.
Sodium chloride solution, dextrose solution, ringer's solution and lactated ringer's solution are all common large volume parenteral products.

The drip chamber should be below the infusion bag.
