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 Volume Parenterals1. Their volume is below 100 ml.2. They contains preservatives in their formulation.3. They are meant for multidose or several time use4. They are sterilized by filtration not by "Terminal Sterilization".Large Volume Parenterals1. Volume is 100ml and above 100 ml.2. They do not contains any type of preservatives.3. They are single dose.4. They are sterilized by "Terminal Sterilization".
The drip chamber should be below the infusion bag.
volume of 1 cement bag is 0.035cu.m.
To calculate the volume of a bag in liters, you would multiply the length, width, and height of the bag in centimeters to get the volume in cubic centimeters. Then, divide the volume in cubic centimeters by 1000 to convert it to liters.
You can estimate the volume of oxygen generated in a plastic bag by knowing the concentration of the oxygen generated and the total volume of the bag. Multiply the concentration of oxygen by the total volume of the bag to get an estimate of the volume of oxygen generated.
